Problem

The polynomial p(x)=3x3+kx2+5x+mp(x)=3x^{3}+kx^{2}+5x+m leaves a remainder 44 when divided by x−2x-2 and a remainder −5-5 when divided by x+1x+1. Which ordered pair (k,m)(k,m) satisfies these conditions? (a) (11, −14)(11,\,-14) (b) (−9, 12)(-9,\,12) (c) (−11, 14)(-11,\,14) (d) (−9, 6)(-9,\,6)
