An=a1+d(n-1)
an=nth term
a1=first term, when n=1
d=common differnce=amount each term increases by
n=which one
so
when n=1, an=40
so a1=40
it seems to increas by 7 each time
an=40+7(n-1)
explicit formula is expanded
an=40+7n-7
an=33+7n is the formula
the domain is natural numbers because you can't have the -3rd term or the 0th term or the 3.24th term
domain is natural numbers
the formula is

Answer:
17 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
An obtuse triangle is the triangle in which one of the side is the longest. It contains an obtuse angle and the longest side is the side that is opposite to the vertex of the obtuse angle.
Let the three sides of the obtuse triangle be a, b and c respectively with c as the longest side. Let a = 9 inches and b = 14 inches.
Now we know that for an obtuse triangle,




c > 16.64
Therefore the smallest possible whole number is 17 inches.
