A sequence is an ordered list of related items. Two common sequences are the
letters of
the alphabet and the odd numbers. Some sequences are finite and have only a
certain number
of items, while others are infinite and go on forever. Which of the just mentioned
sequences
is finite and which is infinite?
Each of the following lists of letters represents a common sequence. Only the
first letter of
each item in the sequence is given. For each sequence, determine what the letters
represent
and fill in the missing letters. Then, write out the first few items in each
sequence in the
space provided. Note that the finite sequences end with a period will the infinite
sequences
end with an ellipsis (...).
