The polynomial p is such that \(\mathrm{p}(x)=a x^{3}+b x^{2}-19 x+c\), where \(a, b\) and \(c\) are integers. It is given that \(x+2\) is a factor of \(\mathrm{p}(x)\). When \(\mathrm{p}(x)\) is divided by \(x+1\) the remainder is 20 . (a) Show that \(7 a-3 b=39\).

It is also given that when \(\mathrm{p}^{\prime}(x)\) is divided by \(x-1\) the remainder is 1 . (b) Find the values of \(a, b\) and \(c\).
