3.1 diagram
The polynomial p(x)=2x33x2x+1p(x) = 2x^{3} - 3x^{2} - x + 1 has a factor 2x12x - 1.
(a)
Find p(x)p(x) in the form (2x1)q(x)(2x - 1)q(x), where q(x)q(x) is a quadratic factor.

(b)
The diagram shows the graph of y=1xy = \dfrac{1}{x} for x>0x > 0, and the graph of y=2x2+3x+1y = -2x^{2} + 3x + 1. The curves intersect at the points AA and BB.
Using your answer to part (a), find the exact xx-coordinate of AA and of BB.
