The graph shows the curve
\(y=a\cos bx+c,\)
for \(0\leq x\leq2.8\), where \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are constants and \(x\) is in radians. The curve meets the \(y\)-axis at \((0,3)\) and the \(x\)-axis at the point \(P\) and point \(R\left(\frac{5\pi}{6},0\right)\).
The curve has a minimum at point \(Q\). The period of \(a\cos bx+c\) is \(\pi\) radians.
(a) Find the value of each of \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\).
(b) Find the coordinates of \(P\).
(c) Find the coordinates of \(Q\).
