The polynomial \(4x^3 + ax^2 + bx - 2\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants, is denoted by \(p(x)\). It is given that \((x+1)\) and \((x+2)\) are factors of \(p(x)\).

(i) Find the values of \(a\) and \(b\).

(ii) When \(a\) and \(b\) have these values, find the remainder when \(p(x)\) is divided by \((x^2 + 1)\).
