Solve Q1 & 2 showing clearly all steps involved

Y. Given that x² - 1 is a factor of f(x) = ax'+ bx² – x + 2, a, b ER, find the values of a and b. hence
solve completely the equation f(x) = 0
G(x) = x' + px² + qx + r, when G(x) is divided by (x2 - 4) the remainder is (5x + 10). When it is
divided by (x - 1), the remainder is 9. Find the values of the real constants p, q, r. hence show that
(x+2) is a factor of G(x) and solve the equation g(x) = 0 completely.
(i) Form a cubic equation with real coefficients which has 1-I and 2 as tow of its roots. (ii) when
the polynomial f(x) = x'+ ax + bx + c is divided by (x-1), (x+2), (x - 3) the remainders are:-8, 4,
24 respectively. Find the value of a, b and c. show that when f(x) is divided by (x+3) the remainde
is zero. Hence solve completely the equation f(x) = 0
