Let the remainder be r. \(p(x)=x^3+8x^2+17x+ax\) When p(x) is divided by (x+2) ,p(-2)=r \(p(-2)=(-2)^3+8*(-2)^2+17(-2)+a(-2)\) \(r=-8+32-34-2a\) \(r=-10-2a-(1)\) When p(x) is divided by (x+1), p(-1)=r \(p(-1)=(-1)^3+8*(-1)^2+17(-1)+a(-1)\) \(r=-1+8-17-a-\) \(r=-10-a-(2)\) Equate both equations and find a.
