Write your First Name if the statement is true and your Last Name if otherwise.
_____1. Ellipsis is a set of three dots that indicates infinity.

_____2. A sequence is a set of objects which is listed in a specific order, one after another.

_____3. A conclusion made from observing data or an educated guess based on patterns is called conjecture.

_____4. A finite sequence is a sequence that contains a countless number of terms.

_____5. When a term of a sequence after the first is formed by adding a fixed number to the preceding term, a sequence is called
arithmetic sequence.

_____6. If the missing value of a geometric sequence is a succeeding term, then divide the preceding term to the common ratio.

_____7. The term in between the two terms of geometric sequence is called the extremes.

_____8. If the unknown value in the geometric sequence is a preceding term, then divide the preceding term by the common ratio.
