(1^2)*3 = 1 * 3 = 3
(2^2)*3 = 4 * 3 = 12
(3^2)*3 = 9 * 3 = 27
(4^2)*3 = 16 * 3 = 48
(5^2)*3 = 25 * 3 = 75
(6^2)*3 = 36 * 3 = 108
(7^2)*3 = 49 * 3 = 147

Nth term is (n^2)*3
:cheesy:
ie ... n square into 3 ;) (for ppl who may not understand the symbols but im sure most ppl do)

Sequences start with 0 though, you're close, but the 0 need to equal 3
((n+1)^2)*3 :d

This would only work when n=0, otherwise it is incorrect

I don't know what you are saying... have you even tried it?

erm not really... not many people talk about the 0th term. sequences tend to start from the 1st term.

Yes i tried it for all of the other options showed there, for example; inserting n=2 gives ((3^2)x3) which is equal to 27... when n=2 the number is 12......

Even though "not many people talk about it" as you say, it doesnt mean its not there. What if there was a part C to the question asking;
If n=0 what is the equivalent number in the sequence?

thanks for clarifying... :) i thought that you were actually talking about the same thing as Ddunk.

so (n^2)*3 still works
