Answer:

12

Explanation:

Given T2=T4=0 and the second difference is 12, we can find the value of the common difference (d) as follows:

T4 = T2 + 2d

0 = 0 + 2d

d = 0

Now that we know the common difference is 0, we can use this to find the value of the first term (T1) as:

T1 = T2 - d = 0 - 0 = 0

We can then use the second difference to find the value of the second term (T2) as:

T3 - 2T2 + T1 = 12

T3 - 0 + 0 = 12

T3 = 12

Therefore, the 3rd term is 12.
