Question 115

g(x)=9x3−6x2−119x+196g(x) = 9x^3 - 6x^2 - 119x + 196g(x)=9x3−6x2−119x+196

a.

Use the factor theorem to show that (x+4)(x + 4)(x+4) is a factor of g(x)g(x)g(x)

[2]
b.

Hence show that g(x)g(x)g(x) can be written in the form g(x)=(x+4)(ax+b)2g(x) = (x + 4)(ax + b)^2g(x)=(x+4)(ax+b)2, where a a\,a and b b\,b are constants to be found.
