Consider second degree polynomial P(x)=a+bx+cx2 such that
P(4)=5,P(4)=3, and P(4)=3.
P(4)=5P(4)=5 gives us
a+4b+16c=5.
Now differentiating P, we get P=b+2cx. Now putting x=4, we get
b+8c=3.
Now differentiating P′, we get P=2cP. Now putting x=4, we get
b+12=3b=9.
Now putting c=32 and b=9 in eq1 we get

a36+48=5a=7.

So required second degree polynomial is P(x)=79x+(32)x2
