This is a good question. also one you can use in real life.

if the fence is 8ft tall you know you need at least an 8ft ladder to get over the fence.

the building is 4ft away but you need to clear the fence.

So this is what your looking for. I find it easier to learn when you make it into a picture.

so it's 8ft high and 4ft from building so the ladder has to be 8×4 to go from the ground to the wall over the fence.

A1 represents the first term

d represents the common difference.....and since the common difference is 3, u have to add 3 to each term to find the next term....because with an arithmetic sequence u add to find the next term, whereas, in a geometric sequence u multiply to find the next term

5...first term
5 + 3 = 8...2nd term
8 + 3 = 11...3rd term
11 + 3 = 14...4th term
