Answer:
[tex]a_{n} = -83/40[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]a_{n} = -2 + 3/2 (n-1)[/tex]
In this problem to find 21st term we put 21 in place of n in the equation
[tex]a_{n} = -2 + 3/2 (21-1) = \\a_{n} = -2 + 3/2 (20)\\a_{n} = -2 + 3/40 = (-2*40 +3)/40 \\a_{n} = -83/40\\[/tex]
Thus, 21st term is -83/40.
