Answer:

  an = 40 -7(n -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence has terms with a common difference, so it is an arithmetic sequence. The formula for the general term of an arithmetic sequence applies:

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

__

The first term of the given sequence is ...

  a1 = 40

The common difference for this sequence is ...

  d = 33 -40 = -7

Using these values in the equation for the n-th term, we have ...

  an = 40 -7(n -1) . . . . . explicit formula for the n-th term
