Determining constants in a cubic spline

If the function s:[0,4]→Rs:[0,4]\to\mathbb R defined by

s(x)={a(x−2)2+b(x−1)2,0≤x≤1,(x−2)2,1<x≤3,2c(x−2)2+(x−3)3,3<x≤4s(x)=\begin{cases}a(x-2)^2+b(x-1)^2,&0\le x\le1,\\(x-2)^2,&1<x\le3,\\2c(x-2)^2+(x-3)^3,&3<x\le4\end{cases}

is a cubic spline, then the value of 2a+b+2c2a+b+2c is
