AIt is called a partial product
BIt is called a common ratio
CIt is called a series
DIt is called an index term
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. It is called a series
1. A sequence is an ordered list of numbers; adding those numbers produces something new.
2. That sum is called a series.
3. When only the first n terms are added, the result is the nth partial sum of the series.
4. A common ratio compares two terms rather than adding them, so it names a different quantity.
