Prove by induction $T(n) = T(\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor)+n^2 \in \Theta (\log_2 n)$

Text of the problem: Solve the following recurrence equation and prove it by applying the principle of induction: $T(n) = \begin{cases} 3, \ n \le 2 \\ T(\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor)+n^2, \ n \ge 3 \end … {cases}$ after doing the recursion tree, I find that the complexity (if I'm not wrong) is $ \Theta (\log_2 n) $ But I don't know how to do the induction step. …
