A sequence is a function whose domain is the finite set {1, 2,

3,…, n} or the infinite set {1, 2, 3,…}.
Example:
a 1 2 3 4 5
an 3 -1 1.5 10 π

This finite sequence has 5 terms. We may use the notation a1,
a2, a3, …, an to denote a(1), a(2), a(3)…a(n) respectively.
In Grade 10, we often encounter sequences that form a pattern
such as that found in the sequence below.
Example:
a 1 2 3 4…

an 4 7 10 13…

The above sequence is an infinite sequence where

an = 3n + 1
