Answer: Verified

Given:
T1=1,T2=2,T3=4T_1 = 1, T_2 = 2, T_3 = 4

andTn=Tn1+Tn2+Tn3(n4)\text{and} \quad T_n = T_{n-1} + T_{n-2} + T_{n-3} \quad (n \geq 4)

Now, T4=T3+T2+T1=4+2+1=7\text{Now, } T_4 = T_3 + T_2 + T_1 = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7

T5=T4+T3+T2=7+4+2=13T_5 = T_4 + T_3 + T_2 = 7 + 4 + 2 = 13

T6=T5+T4+T3=13+7+4=24T_6 = T_5 + T_4 + T_3 = 13 + 7 + 4 = 24

T7=T6+T5+T4=24+13+7=44T_7 = T_6 + T_5 + T_4 = 24 + 13 + 7 = 44

T8=T7+T6+T5=44+24+13=81T_8 = T_7 + T_6 + T_5 = 44 + 24 + 13 = 81

Therefore, T4=7,T5=13,T6=24,T7=44,T8=81T_4 = 7, T_5 = 13, T_6 = 24, T_7 = 44, T_8 = 81.
