Answer:

a_n=112 \cdot  \left(\dfrac14 \right)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between each term in the sequence is not the same, therefore the sequence is a geometric sequence.

Geometric sequence formula:  a_n=a r^{n-1}

where a is the start term and r is the common ratio

Given a_1 = 112 \implies a=112

To calculate r, divide one term by its previous term:

\implies r=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{7}{28}=\dfrac14

Therefore, a_n=112 \cdot  \left(\dfrac14 \right)^{n-1}

It's a geometric sequence

  • r=112/28=1/4

Test with third term to verify

  • 28(1/4)=7

Verified

Now

find formula

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow a_n=ar^{n-1}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow a_n=112(1/4)^{n-1}

sweet [91]

Answer:

Market price = Rs. 6,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost price = R.s 4,000

Profit after discount = 20%

Discount = 20%

Find:

Market price

Computation:

Sales price = Cost price[1+Profit after discount]

Sales price = 4,000[1+20%]

Sales price = 4,800

Market price = Sales price[100/(100 - Discount)]

Market price = 4,800[100/(100 - 20%)]

Market price = Rs. 6,000
