AA factor of the sequence
BA term of the sequence
CA limit of the sequence
DA ratio of the sequence
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. A term of the sequence
1. A sequence is an ordered list of numbers written in a specific order.
2. Each number in that list is called a term, and the subscript records its position.
3. A ratio compares two terms rather than naming one of them, so it is a different idea.
4. A limit describes long-run behaviour and a factor describes multiplication, so neither names a member of the list.
