6 The polynomial \(\mathrm { p } ( x )\) is defined by $$\mathrm { p } ( x ) = 12 x ^ { 3 } - 9 x ^ { 2 } + 8 x - 4$$
  1. Find the quotient when \(\mathrm { p } ( x )\) is divided by \(( 4 x - 3 )\) and show that the remainder is 2 .
  2. Hence find \(\int _ { 2 } ^ { 12 } \left( \frac { \mathrm { p } ( x ) } { 4 x - 3 } - 3 x ^ { 2 } \right) \mathrm { d } x\), giving your answer in the form \(a + \ln b\).
