, 2. In this question you must show all stages of your working.
Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.

f (x) = 2x3 – 3ax2 + bx + 8a

where a and b are constants.
Given that (x – 4) is a factor of f (x),
(a) use the factor theorem to show that

10a = 32 + b
(2)
Given also that (x – 2) is a factor of f (x),
(b) express f (x) in the form

f (x) = (2x + k) (x – 4) (x – 2)

where k is a constant to be found.
(4)
(c) Hence,

(i) state the number of real roots of the equation f (x) = 0

1

(ii) write down the largest root of the equation f
x  = 0
