  1. Question 1

    A systematic arrangement of numbers according to a given rule is called a

    • ASeries
    • BSet
    • CSequence
    • DFunction
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    Numbers arranged by a rule form a sequence.

  2. Question 2

    The numbers in a sequence are called its

    • Aterms
    • Broots
    • Cfactors
    • Dratios
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Each number in a sequence is called a term.

  3. Question 3

    The general term of a sequence is denoted by

    • Aa_1
    • Bd
    • Ca_(n-1)
    • Da_n
    Show answer

    Answer: D

    a_n is the nth or general term.

  4. Question 4

    The term immediately preceding the nth term of a sequence is called the

    • A(n+1)th term
    • B(n-1)th term
    • Cfirst term
    • Dnth term from the end
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    The term just before a_n is a_(n-1), the (n-1)th term.

  5. Question 5

    A sequence consisting of a finite number of terms is called a

    • Ainfinite sequence
    • Bconstant sequence
    • Crecursive sequence
    • Dfinite sequence
    Show answer

    Answer: D

    A sequence with a limited number of terms is finite.
