What are the first four terms of 3n²

3, 12, 27, 48

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the first 4 terms substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4 into the rule, that is

n = 1 → 3 × 1² = 3 × 1 = 3 ← first term

n = 2 → 3 × 2² = 3 × 4 = 12 ← second term

n = 3 → 3 × 3² = 3 × 9 = 27 ← third term

n = 4 → 3 × 4² = 3 × 16 = 48 ← fourth term

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
