Let a curve \( y=f(x), \, x \in (0,\infty) \) pass through the points \( P\!\left(1,\dfrac{3}{2}\right) \) and \( Q\!\left(a,\dfrac{1}{2}\right) \). If the tangent at any point \( R(b,f(b)) \) to the given curve cuts the \( y \)-axis at the point \( S(0,c) \) such that \( bc=3 \), then \( (PQ)^2 \) is equal to ________ .
