12. Let p(x) = x4 + 2x3 – x2 + 2x + 1.
It is given that p(x) can be factorized as (x2 + hx + 1) (x2 + kx + 1), where h, k are real numbers
and h > k.
(a) By expanding (x2 + hx + 1) (x2 + kx + 1), find the values of h + k and hk. (4 marks)
(b) Hence, find the values of h and k. (2 marks)
(c) A student claims that the equation p(x) = 0 has unreal roots. Do you agree? Explain your
answer. (4 marks)
