Answer:

tan A = -15/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

sin^2a = 1 - cos^2A

= 1 - (-8/17)^2

= 225/289

So sin A= 15/17

tan A = sin A / cos A

= 15/17 / -8/17

= 15/-8

= -15/8.

$\boxed { \boxed { a_n = a_1 + d(n - 1)}}$

$a_{14} = -33 , a_{15} = 9,$

$a_{14} = a_1 + d(14 - 1) = -33$
$a_1 + 13d = -33$

$a_{15} = a_1 + d(15 - 1) = 9$
$a_1 + 14d = 9$

So the two equations:
$a_1 + 13d = -33$ ----------------- ( 1 )
$a_1 + 14d = 9$ ----------------- ( 2 )

(2) - (1) :
$d = 42$ ----------------- (Sub into 1)

$a_1 + 13(42) = -33$
$a_1 + 546= -33$
$a_1 = -33 - 546$
$a_1 = -579$

$\boxed { \boxed { a_n = -578 + 42(n - 1)}}$
