You can put this solution on YOUR website!
"t" is the value of the term
"a" is the starting point (a constant)
"n" is the number of the term
"d" is the difference between successive terms -- arithmetic sequence

to generate the sequence, start with n=1 and go as far as you wish; using the formula (t=a+(n-1)d) as a "template"

t1=a; t2=a+d; t3=a+2d; t4=a+3d ...

a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d, a+4d ...
