f(x)=4x3−8x2−35x+75f(x) = 4x^3 - 8x^2 - 35x + 75f(x)=4x3−8x2−35x+75
Use the factor theorem to show that (x+3)(x + 3)(x+3) is a factor of f(x)f(x)f(x).
Hence, show that f(x)f(x)f(x) can be written in the form f(x)=(x+3)(ax+b)2f(x) = (x + 3)(ax + b)^2f(x)=(x+3)(ax+b)2, where a a\,a and b b\,b are integers to be found.
