Sol:
if x2- 4 is a factor of ax4+ 2x3- 3x2+ bx - 4.

x2 - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = ±2 are zeros of the polynomial p(x) = ax4+ 2x3- 3x2+ bx - 4.

∴ p(2) = 0 and p(-2) = 0.

p(2) = 0 then 16a + 16 -12 +2b -4 = 0

16a + 2b  = 0 -------------(1)

p(-2) = 0 then 16a -16 -12 - 2b - 4 = 0

16a -2b = 32 -------------(2)

Substract (2) from (1) we get

4b = -32

b = -8

Substitute b is in equ(1) we get 16a - 16 = 0

∴ a = 1 and b = -8.

since 1 and -1 are its zeros so put them in first eq
u will get 2 linear eq. in a and b and u can solve them easily
