Since the Difference of degree 2 is constant ,the general terms has the form u_n =an^2 +bn+c.Give n the values 1,2,3...

Pls what do you mean give n the value 1 2 3? how will that give us the answer

$$\mathrm{Pls}\:\mathrm{what}\:\mathrm{do}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{mean}\:\mathrm{give}\:\mathrm{n}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{value}\:\mathrm{1}\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{3}? \\ $$$$\mathrm{how}\:\mathrm{will}\:\mathrm{that}\:\mathrm{give}\:\mathrm{us}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{answer} \\ $$

n=1⇒a.1^2 +b.1+c=3,n=2⇒a.2^2 +b.2+c=12 n=3⇒a.3^2 +b.3+c=27.We obtain a system of three eqs.of degree 1for 3 unknowns a,b ,c.Solve this system

$$\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\mathrm{a}.\mathrm{1}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{b}.\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{c}=\mathrm{3},\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{2}\Rightarrow\mathrm{a}.\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{b}.\mathrm{2}+\mathrm{c}=\mathrm{12} \\ $$$$\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{3}\Rightarrow\mathrm{a}.\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{b}.\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{c}=\mathrm{27}.\mathrm{We}\:\mathrm{obtain}\:\mathrm{a} \\ $$$$\mathrm{system}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{three}\:\mathrm{eqs}.\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{degree}\:\mathrm{1for}\:\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\mathrm{unknowns}\:\mathrm{a},\mathrm{b}\:,\mathrm{c}.\mathrm{Solve}\:\mathrm{this}\:\mathrm{system} \\ $$
