Day 1 = dog eats 3 scoops so far
Day 2 = dog eats 6 scoops so far (3+3 = 6)
Day 3 = dog eats 9 scoops so far (6+3 = 9)
Day 4 = dog eats 12 scoops so far (9+3 = 12)
The pattern keeps going

The sequence {3, 6, 9, 12, ...} is an arithmetic sequence where the first term is a1 = 3 and the common difference is 3.
