TopicFactor & Remainder Theorem
TypeDirect remainder then factorise

4. $$f ( x ) = 6 x ^ { 3 } + 13 x ^ { 2 } - 4$$
  1. Use the remainder theorem to find the remainder when \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) is divided by ( \(2 x + 3\) ).
  2. Use the factor theorem to show that \(( x + 2 )\) is a factor of \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\).
  3. Factorise \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) completely.
