We can figure this out using the explicit formula.

n represents the term we are looking for.
f(1) represents the first term in the sequence, which in this case, is 7.
d represents the common difference, which in this case, is +3.
f(n) = 7 + 3(n - 1)
f(n) = 7 + 3n - 3
f(n) = 4 + 3n
Now, we can input 214 for n and solve.
f(214) = 4 + 3(214)
f(214) = 4 + 642
f(214) = 646
The 214th term in this sequence is 646.
Hope i help <span>42/2= 21
21 / 3 = 7
Answer=2 x 3 x 7</span>
It takes 3 years for the balance of account to be $ 221
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
From given information,
Principal = $ 200
Rate of interest = 3.5 %
Amount after "n" years = $ 221
To find: number of years
In simple Interest,
Simple interest = amount earned - principal
Simple interest = 221 - 200 = 21
Thus simple interest earned is $ 21
<em><u>The formula for simple interest is given as:</u></em>

Where,
p is the principal
n is the number of years
r is the rate of interest per annum
Substituting the given values in formula,

Thus it takes 3 years for the balance of account to be $ 221
2-21x+28
-21x +3
Hope it helps
