The first three terms of the sequence defined by the recursive formula are 2, -7/2 and -3/2

Given:

an =  \frac{an - 1}{4}  - 2

where,

n = number of terms

First term, a1 = 2

Second term, a2

an =  \frac{an - 1}{4}  - 2

a2 = {(2 - 1)/ 4} - 2

= 1/4 - 2

= (1-8) / 4

= - 7/4

Third term, a3

= {(3-1) / 4} - 2

= 2/4 - 2

= 1/2 - 2

= (1-4) / 2

= -3/2

Therefore, the first three terms of the sequence defined by the recursive formula are 2, -7/2 and -3/2

1. The three salespeople for a local advertising firm are Sara, Kenny, and Leila. Sara sold $3350 in ads, Kenny sold $1368, and
Dominik [7]

Answer:

\text{Fraction of Sara sold }= \dfrac{1675}{2587}

\text{Fraction of Kenny sold }= \dfrac{684}{2587}

\text{Fraction of Leila sold }= \dfrac{228}{2587}

Step-by-step explanation:

The three salespeople for a local advertising firm are sara, Kenny and Leila.

Sara sold total ads = $3350

Kenny sold total ads = $1368

Leila sold total ads = $456

First we calculate total sale of all three = 3350 + 1368 + 456 = $5174

We need to find fraction of total sale with each person sell.

\text{Fraction of Sara sold }=\dfrac{\text{Sara total sold}}{\text{Total sale by all three}}

\text{Fraction of Sara sold }=\dfrac{3350}{5174}\Rightarrow\dfrac{1675}{2587}\approx 64.75\%

\text{Fraction of Kenny sold }=\dfrac{\text{Kenny total sold}}{\text{Total sale by all three}}

\text{Fraction of Kenny sold }=\dfrac{1368}{5174}\Rightarrow\dfrac{684}{2587}\approx 26.45\%

\text{Fraction of Leila sold }=\dfrac{\text{Leila total sold}}{\text{Total sale by all three}}

\text{Fraction of Leila sold }=\dfrac{456}{5174}\Rightarrow\dfrac{228}{2587}\approx 8.8\%
