Exercise 1 Page 577

Recall the definition of a sequence.

terms

We are asked to complete the following definition.

The function values a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, ... , a_n, ... are called the of a sequence.

Remember, in an algebraic expression, the parts separated by plus and minus signs are known as terms.
Mathematical Expression Terms
8x - 2(5) 8x and -2(5)
x^2 + y^(-2) + 4 x^2, y^(-2), and 4
In a similar way, the components of a sequence are referred to as terms as well.
Now we are ready to complete the given definition.

The function values a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, ... , a_n, ... are called the terms of a sequence.
