Answer:

        a_1=4\\\\a_2=0\\\\a_3=3

Explanation:

The equation is:

      a_n=3a_{n-1}-5a_{n-2}-4a_{n-3}

and

      a_4=-7, a_5=-36, a_6=-85

<u>1. Subsittute n = 6 into the equation:</u>

      a_6=3a_{5}-5a_{4}-4a_{3}

      Now subsititute the known values:

       -85=3(-36)-5(-7)-4a_{3}

      You can solve for a_3

      -85=-108+35-4a_{3}\\\\4a_3=12\\\\a_3=12/4\\\\a_3=3

<u />

<u>2. Substitute n = 5 into the equation:</u>

    a_5=3a_{4}-5a_{3}-4a_{2}

     Substitute the known values and solve for a_2

        -36=3(-7)-5(3)-4a_{2}\\\\4a_2=-21-15+36=0\\\\a_2=0

<u>3. Substitute n = 4 into the equation, subsitute the known values and solve for </u>a_1<u />

       a_4=3a_{3}-5a_{2}-4a_{1}

        -7=3(3)-5(0)-4a_{1}\\\\4a_1=9+7=16\\\\a_1=4

Paga No. Date: 6. When a discount of 25% is allowed on the marked price then the selling price will be 1425 .lf the marked price
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The percentage loss = 10.9375 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price = x

Since the marked price is 18.75% above the cost price so the

Marked price = 1.1875 x

When a discount of 25% is allowed on the marked price , the selling price will be Rs. 1425

⇒ Marked price × 0.75 = 1425

⇒ Cost price × ( 1.1875 × 0.75 ) = 1425

⇒ Cost price × ( 0.890625 ) = 1425

⇒ Cost price = 1600

Selling price = 1425

So percentage loss =  × 100

% Loss =  × 100

% Loss = 10.9375 %
