Small Breweries

 U.S. craft-beer breweries (breweries that make fewer than 6 million barrels annually and are less than 25% owned by big breweries) have been doing booming business. The number of these small breweries from 2008 through 2012 can be modeled by using a quadratic function of the form
f(t) = at2 + bt + c
where ab, and c are constants and t is measured in years, with 
t = 0
 corresponding to 2008.†
(a)
Find ab, and c if 
f(0) = 1547,
 
f(2) = 1802,
 and 
f(4) = 2403.
a  =   
b  =   
c  =   
(b)
Use the model obtained in part (a) to estimate the number of craft-beer breweries in 2016, assuming that the trend continued. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
