Questions and Answers

What is a sequence in mathematics?

  • An unordered collection of elements with no repetitions
  • A function from natural numbers to elements at each position
  • A set with no repeated elements and order matters
  • An ordered collection of elements where repetitions are allowed and order matters (correct)
  • How does a sequence differ from a set?

  • In a set, the same elements can appear multiple times at different positions
  • The length of a sequence is always infinite
  • In a sequence, order matters while in a set, order does not matter (correct)
  • In a sequence, the order does not matter
  • What can be said about the position of an element in a sequence?

  • It is always the index 0
  • It depends on the context or specific convention (correct)
  • It is always an arbitrary index
