(i)
2x³ + ax² +bx - 30
= (2x-3)(x²+3x-10) = 2x³ + 3x² - 29x - 30
a = 3
b = -29

(ii)
remainder theorem
https://www.cuemath.com/algebra/remainder-theorem/

2x+1 → a = 2;b = 1;-(b/a) = -0.5

2×(-0.5)³ + 3×(-0.5)² - 29×(-0.5) - 30 = -15 (Ans)

Welcome. Late nights and Math don't mix well... haha

Guessing your teacher used the quotient/remainder method.. useful for some questions and preferred that you understand its use...
