Find D when 8x^3-12x^2-2x+D is divided by 2x+1 when the remainder is -2

8x3-12x2-2x+D...(1)

2x+1...(2)

Assume 2x+1=0 so x=-1/2

8x3-12x2-2x+D=-2... when divided by (2)

substitute -1/2 into all X values

rearrange to find D

A curve is defined by parametric equations: x = t^(2) + 2, and y = t(4-t^(2)). Find dy/dx in terms of t, hence, define the gradient of the curve at the point where t = 2.
