The common difference between each term in the sequence is -4.
To find the 45th term, we can use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence:
a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d
Where:
a_n = the nth term
a_1 = the first term
d = the common difference
n = the term number
Plugging in the given values:
a_45 = 208 + (45-1)(-4)
a_45 = 208 + 176
a_45 = 32
The 45th term of the sequence is 32.
