Let g(x)=ax2−3x+1g(x)=ax^2-3x+1 and h(x)=2x3+x2−4h(x)=2x^3+x^2-4. Define the polynomial P(x)=g(h(x))P(x)=g(h(x)). a. Part 1: (i) Expand P(x)P(x) and write it in standard descending-power form. b. Part 2: (ii) Find the derivative P′(x)P'(x). c. Part 3: (iii) If P′(1)=0P'(1)=0, determine the value of the parameter aa.
