Question 186748
<pre>

8 , 11 , 14,  17
 +3    +3   +3


</pre>


Rule: add 3 to each term to get next term ----> difference is 3. So d=3


Starting value: 8 ----> *[Tex \LARGE a_{0}=8]



Equation: *[Tex \LARGE a_{n}=dn+a_{0}] ---> *[Tex \LARGE a_{n}=3n+8] where 'n' starts at zero


OR...


Equation: *[Tex \LARGE a_{n}=dn+a_{0}] ---> *[Tex \LARGE a_{n}=3n+5] where 'n' starts at one
