SOLUTION: given that the remainder when f(x) is divided by (x-1) is equal to the remainder when f(x) is divided by (2x+1). f(x)= px^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + q
find the value of p
thank you!!!!

The remainder theorem states that the remainder when a polynomial
is divided by is .
Therefore the remainder when is divided by is , which is
Also the remainder when is divided by , or
is , which is
We are told that these are equal:
