Actually this solution is correct.

For (a), we come up with 2 simultaneous equations in terms of “a” and “b”, using factor theorem and remainder theorem.

Then, solve the 2 simultaneous equations using substitution (as per the photo) or elimination.

For (b), we find the first factor using calculator. Usually, we’ll pick the one with an integer. For instance, x=-3.

However, when we present the working, we write:
f(-3)= 4(-3)³ + 8(-3)² - 15(-3) - 9 = 0

After that, we use long division or synthetic method to get a quadratic expression, which is then factorised into 2 factors.
