(A) Given that the expression​​ x^3-ax^2+bx+c leaves the same ​remainder when divided by x+1 or x-2, find a in term of b.

(B) (2x-1)^3+6(3+4x^2) is divided by 2x+​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​1.

Answer those two question please. I need it quickly. No silly answers would not be allowded. ​​​​​

Hello,

A:


\begin{array}c&x^3&x^2&x&1\\&1&-a&b&c\\x=-1&&-1&a+1&-a-b-1\\---&---&---&---&---\\&1&-a-1&a+b+1&-a-b+c-1\\\end{array}\\\\\\\begin{array}ccc&x^3&x^2&x&1\\&1&-a&b&c\\x=2&&2&-2a+4&-4a+2b+8\\---&---&---&---&---\\&1&-a+2&-2a+b+4&-4a+2b+c+8\\\end{array}\\\\\\\\-a-b+c-1=-4a+2b+c+8\\\\\boxed{b=a-3}\\

B:


(2x-1)^3+6(3+4x^2)\\\\=8x^3-12x^2+6x-1+18+24x^2\\\\=8x^3+12x^2+6x+17\\\\\\\begin{array}c&x^3&x^2&x&1\\&8&12&6&17\\x=-(1)/(2) &&-4&-4&-1\\---&---&---&---&---\\&8&8&2&16\\\end{array}\\\\\\(2x-1)^3+6(3+4x^2)=(2x+1)(4x^2+4x+1)+16
