3. (a) Use the factor theorem to show that (x + 4) is a factor of 2x3 + x2 – 25x + 12.
(2)
(b) Factorise 2x3 + x2 – 25x + 12 completely.
(4)
x3 + 4x2 + x – 6 = 0.

6. (a) Find the remainder when
x3 – 2x2 – 4x + 8
is divided by
(i) x – 3,
(ii) x + 2.
(3)
(b) Hence, or otherwise, find all the solutions to the equation
x3 – 2x2 – 4x + 8 = 0.
(4)
where k is a constant.

9. f (x) = x4 + 5x3 + ax + b,
The remainder when f(x) is divided by (x – 2) is equal to the remainder when f(x) is divided
by (x + 1).
