Given f(x) = ax^4 + 2x^3 - 3x^2 + bx - 4.

Given that g(x) = x^2 - 4 = (x + 2)(x - 2) are the factors of f(x).

When x = 2:

f(2) = a(2)^4 + 2(2)^3 - 3(2)^2 + b(2) - 4

      = 16a + 16 - 12 + 2b - 4

      = 16a + 2b = 0   ------ (1)


When x = -2:

f(-2) = a(-2)^4 + 2(-2)^3 - 3(-2)^2 + b(-2) - 4

       = 16a - 16 - 12 - 2b - 4

       = 16a - 2b - 32 = 0

       = 16a - 2b = 32  ----- (2)


On solving (1) & (2), we get

16a + 2b = 0

16a - 2b = 32

-------------------

32a = 32

a = 1.


Substitute a = 1 in (2), we get

16a  + 2b = 0

16 = -2b

b = -8.


Therefore a = 1, b = -8.


Hope this helps!
