A sequence is defined as an ordered list of numbers. - Sequences are ordered, meaning two sequences that contain the same values but in a different order are not equal. - Sequences can be infinite if a rule is defined, i.e $\{1, 1, 1, 1, ...\}; a_i = 1$ # Behavior - A sequence is considered **increasing** if $a_n$ is smaller than $a_{n+1}$ for all $n$. - A sequence is considered **decreasing** if $a_n$ is greater than or equal to $a_{n+1}$ for all $n$. - Sequences exist that do not fall into either category, i.e, $a_n = (-1)^n$ - If the terms of a sequence grow $\{a_n\}$ get arbitrarily close to a single number $L$ as $n$ grows larger, this is noted by writing: $
