find all ideals of quotient ring $Q[x]/I$

find all ideals of quotient ring $Q[x]/I$ where $I = Q[x]f(x)$, $f(x) = x^3 + 4x^2-9x-36$.

should I first factor the $f(x)$? Are those Factors of $f(x)$ the ideal of $Q[x]/I$? Thanks

Yes, factor $f(x)$ and then use the correspondence theorem, which tells you that ideals of $\mathbb{Q}[x]/I$ are all of the form $J/I$, where $J$ is an ideal of $\mathbb{Q}[x]$ containing $I$.
