Until subtracting (which doesn’t keep you) everything was right (here it should be called +48 in front, because 0-(-48)=48).

Either you do it like Rammstein by dissolving equation II’ after, for example, a2 and using it in III’, or you reckon (complicated) 2*II’ – 3*III’: the a2 then falls away and you can calculate a1.

f(x) = ax^4 + bx^2 + c

f'(x) = 4ax^3 + 2bx

###

(1) f(0) = 0 –> c = 0

(2) f(3) = 0 –> 81a + 9b = 0

(3) f'(3) = -48 –> 108a + 6b = -48

(2) follows b = -9a

The compound used in (3) gives a=-8/9 and thus b=8

The last line would have to be +48.
