Let P(x)=ax2+bx+cP(x)=ax^{2}+bx+c be a quadratic polynomial. It is given that P(2)=0P(2)=0, P(−3)=0P(-3)=0, and P(1)=4P(1)=4. a. (i) Form a system of three equations in aa, bb, and cc using the information provided. b. (ii) Solve the system to determine the values of aa, bb, and cc. c. (iii) Write the quadratic polynomial P(x)P(x) in its expanded form and confirm that it satisfies all the given conditions.
