(a) According to the remainder theorem, when the polynomial F(x) is divided by x - a, the remainder

can be written as j?c0)

(b) According to the factor theorem, if x + a is a factor of the polynomial F(x) then

F(-a) =_~O__

5. When the polynomial f(x) = a 2 x 2 +ax+ b is divided by ax+ b, the remainder is 4. When it is
divided by x - a, the remainder is 92. If a and bare both positive, find the values of a and b. [4A]
