A hint to get started

Use a remainder and a stationary point as constraints

A cubic polynomial p(x)p(x) leaves a remainder of 52 when divided by x−2x-2. Given that the curve with equation y=p(x)y=p(x) passes through the point (1.5,32.375)(1.5,32.375) and has a stationary point at (−1,−2)(-1,-2), find p(x)p(x). marks
