Let $f(x) = a^2x^2 + 2bx + c$ where, $a \neq 0$, $b, c$ are real numbers and $x$ is a real variable then

If $8x^2 - 2kx + k = 0$ is a quadratic equation in $x$, such that one of its roots is $p$ times the other, and $p, k$ are positive real numbers, then $k$ equals

Let $P(x)$ be a quadratic polynomial such that

$\left|\begin{array}{ll} P(0) & P(1) \\ P(0) & P(2) \end{array}\right|=0$

Let $P(0)=2$ and $P(1)+P(2)+P(3)=14$. Then $P(4)$ equals
