Paragraph

We can find the terms of this sequence easily enough.

\begin{equation*} 3, 8, 14, 24, 33, 33, 45,\ldots\text{.} \end{equation*}

Here \(b_1\) is just \(a_1\text{,}\) but then

\begin{equation*} b_2 = 3+5 = a_1 + a_2\text{,} \end{equation*}
\begin{equation*} b_3 = 3+5+6 = a_1 + a_2 + a_3\text{,} \end{equation*}

and so on.
