12 Abel and Bonnie are trying to solve this mathematical problem: $$\begin{gathered} z = 2 - 3 \mathrm { i } \text { is a root of the equation }
2 z ^ { 3 } + m z ^ { 2 } + p z + 91 = 0 \end{gathered}$$ Find the value of \(m\) and the value of \(p\). Abel says he has solved the problem.
Bonnie says there is not enough information to solve the problem.
12

1. Abel's solution begins as follows: Since \(z = 2 - 3 \mathrm { i }\) is a root of the equation, \(z = 2 + 3 \mathrm { i }\) is another root. State one extra piece of information about \(m\) and \(p\) which could be added to the problem to make the beginning of Abel's solution correct.

   12	Prove that Bonnie is right.
