    The polynomial P(x) = x4 + ax3 - 7x2 - 4ax + b is given, where a and b are constants. If one of the zeros of P(x) is -3, and the remainder when P(x) is divided by x - 3 is 60, then a = 2 and b = 12. P(x) can be completely factorized as (x + 3)(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2) and the values of x where P(x) = 0 are -3, 1, 2, and -2.

    a)

    Consider the polynomial P(x) = x4 + ax3 7x2 4ax + b where a and b are constants.
    If one of the zeros of P(x) is -3, the remainder is 60 when P(x) is divided by x 3,
    i

    find the values of a and b. (Ans: a = 2, b =12)

    ii
    iii

    factorise P(x) completely. (Ans: (x + 3)(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2) )


    find the values of x such that P(x) = 0. (Ans: x = -3, x = 1, x = 2, x = -2)
