3.2 diagram
(a)
The diagram shows the graph of y=f(x)y = \lvert f(x) \rvert, where f(x)f(x) is a quadratic function. Write down the two possible expressions for f(x)f(x).

(b)
The three roots of p(x)=0p(x) = 0, where p(x)=5x3+ax2+bx2p(x) = 5x^{3} + ax^{2} + bx - 2, are x=15x = \dfrac{1}{5}, x=nx = n and x=n+1x = n + 1, where aa and bb are positive integers and nn is a negative integer. Find p(x)p(x), simplifying your coefficients.
