Answer:

aₙ = -4n + 49

Step-by-step explanation:

45, 41, 37, 33, 29, ....

a₁ = 45

a₂ = 45 - 4 = 41

a₃ = 41 - 4 = 37

a₄ = 37 - 4 = 33

a₅ = 33 - 4 = 29

...

It's an arithmetic sequence.

a₁ = 45, d = -4

A general term of an arithmetic sequence:

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

Substitute:

aₙ = 45 + (n - 1) · (-4) = 45 - 4n + 4 = -4n + 49
