The sequence follows the rule: a n = 6 n ⋅ ( n + 1 ) ⋅ ( n + 2 ) So the missing terms are 56 and 84, 56*84=4704
Another way could be to find the differences between two consecutives terms, they are 1 , 3 , 6 , 1 0 , 1 5 . . . that are the sums from 1 to n
Or recursively: a n = n 2 + a n − 2 , n > 1 ( a 0 = 0 , a 1 = 1 )
Conaecutively, a triangular number is being added to the next term. So, the first unknown term is
3
5
+
2
1
=
5
6
and the next one is
5
6
+
2
8
=
8
4
.
So,
x
×
y
=
5
6
×
8
4
=
4
7
0
4
.
I think the easiest way is finding the difference:
0, 1, 4, 10, 20, 35, x , y
Difference:
(1 - 0), (4 - 1), (10 - 4), (20 - 10), (35 - 20)
= 1, 3, 6, 10, 15
Next 2 terms are:
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21 , 28
21 + 35 = 56
56 + 28 = 84
x ( y ) = 56 (84) = 4704

Another way to write this is:
a n = a n − 1 + x = 1 ∑ n − 1 x , n ≥ 2 , a 1 = 0
x = a 7 = a 6 + x = 1 ∑ 6 x = 3 5 + 2 6 ( 7 ) = 3 5 + 2 1 = 5 6
y = a 8 = a 7 + x = 1 ∑ 7 x = 5 6 + 2 7 ( 8 ) = 5 6 + 2 8 = 8 4
x × y = 5 6 × 8 4 = 4 7 0 4
