Let p(x)=12x3−8x2−3x+2p(x) = 12x^3 - 8x^2 - 3x + 2p(x)=12x3−8x2−3x+2.
Prove that (2x−1)(2x - 1)(2x−1) is a factor of p(x)p(x)p(x).
Factorise p(x)p(x)p(x) completely.
Prove that there are no real solutions to the equation 12sec2θ+2cosθ3=83secθ+1\frac{12 \sec^2 \theta + 2 \cos \theta}{3} = \frac{8}{3} \sec \theta + 1312sec2θ+2cosθ=38secθ+1
