What examiners said
Most candidates made use of the remainder theorem to find the correct value of the constant A. Successful responses then searched for a root of the equation. Many did not recognise that they needed to do this. The easiest root to spot was x = 1, provided A was correct. Once a root was found, a linear factor and hence a quadratic factor could be found, followed by 3 linear factors.

When a question requires that candidates factorise a polynomial expression, it is expected that the polynomial be fully factorised. Some candidates did offer the fully factorised form, ( ) ( ) 2 4 x 2 + 1 ( 2x + 1) . Many candidates offered the partially factorised form 8 x 2 + 2 ( 2 x + 1) which earned partial credit. A few candidates offered factors that when expanded did not give p(x). For ( )...
