1 The polynomial \(\mathrm { p } ( x )\) is defined by
$$\mathrm { p } ( x ) = a x ^ { 3 } + b x - 10$$
where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants. It is given that \(( x + 2 )\) is a factor of \(\mathrm { p } ( x )\) and that the remainder is - 55 when \(\mathrm { p } ( x )\) is divided by \(( x + 3 )\).
- Find the values of \(a\) and \(b\).
- Hence factorise \(\mathrm { p } ( x )\) completely.
