The first differences are 8, 14, 20.
The second differences are 6.
Half of 6 is 3, so the first term of the sequence is 3n^2.
If you subtract 3n^2 from the sequence you get 0,-1,-2,-3 which has the nth term of -n + 1.
Therefore your final answer will be 3n^2 - n + 1
Well not sure what you are asking, but If it is what I think it is, it would go like this:
2
(9^2)
Then the answer should be
9^4 since we multiply the exponents.
If you mean this...
3^2....It would be same as 3 x 3 which we should know is equal to nine.
Hope I helped! (Be sure to thank me!)
