Answer:

[tex] \frac{3}{2} n {}^{2} + \frac{9}{2} n - 12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This sequence is a quadratic sequence meaning that we should find the difference and the constant second difference.

The difference between the 4 terms is in the sequence:

9;12;15

The constant second difference is 3.

Use your method of finding the general term:

2a=3 3a+b=9 a+b+c=-6

a=3/2 3(3/2)+b=9 3/2+9/2+c=-6

b=9/2 c=-12

Standard form for quadratic sequence:

[tex] {an}^{2} + bn + c[/tex]

Therefore your general term is the one stated above in the answer.

Hope that helps!
