Please help me solve this question:-
1.) When polynomial ax^3+bx^2+cx-4 is divided by x+2 the remainder is double than obtained when the same polynomial is divided by x+1.
----
Find the remainders:
f(-2) = -8a + 4b -2c -4
----
f(-1) = -a + b - c -4
-------
Equation:
f(-2) = 2f(-1)
-8a + 4b -2c -4 = 2[-a+b-c-4]
-8a + 4b -2c-4 = -2a + 2b -2c -8
-----
6a -2b = 4
3a - b = 2
=======
b = 3a-2
c can be any value
