Given the equation of curve C is y = x^3 + ax + b, where a and b are constants.

And, point P(-0.5,4) is a point on C and the slope of tangent to curve C at P is 2.

Find a and b.

dy/dx = 3x^2 + a
Since dy/dx|(x=-0.5) = 2
3(-0.5)^2 + a = 2
a = 5/4
Put a = 5/4, x = -1/2 and y = 4 into the curve C.
4 = (-1/2)^3 + (5/4)(-1/2) + b
b = 19/4
