given that the polynomial p(x)=(3x+2)(x−1)q(x)−2x−4  of degree 3 is exactly divisible by x−2 and   that p(−1)=−12. find q(x).

g(x)=ax+b  p(−1)=(−3+2)(−1−1)g(−1)+2−4=−12  ⇒g(−1)=−5  ⇒−a+b=−5   ...(i)  p(2)=(6+2)(2−1)g(2)−4−4=0  ⇒g(2)=1  ⇒2a+b=1   ...(ii)  ⇒a=2  ⇒b=−3  ⇒g(x)=2x−3
g(x)=ax+bp(1)=(3+2)(11)g(1)+24=12g(1)=5a+b=5(i)p(2)=(6+2)(21)g(2)44=0g(2)=12a+b=1(ii)a=2b=3g(x)=2x3
