| When the polynomial f(x) is divided by
(xβ2) the remainder is 4 and when it is divided
(xβ3) the remainder is 7. Given that f(x)
may be written in the formf(x)=(xβ2)(xβ3)Q(x)+ax+b,
find the remainder when f(x) is divided
by (xβ2)(xβ3). If also f(x) is a cubic function
in which the coefficient of x^3 is unity and
f(1)=1, determine Q(x).
