 Make use of the result in (a) (i). Note
Hint that a and b are integers and a < b < 0.

Hint

When f(x)  g(x) is divided by x

a, the remainder is f(a)  g(a).
 Suggested Solution Marks
(a) (i) ∵ x – 2 is a factor of f(x).
. ∴ f ( 2)  0 1M
.i.e. 2  a 2  b 22  1  10  0
5( 2  a )(2  b )  10
(a  2)(b  2)  2 1
 Suggested Solution Marks
(ii) ∵ a and b are integers and a < b < 0.
∴ a  2  2 and b  2  1
i.e. a   4 and b  3 1A (ans) + 1A (ans)
