Answer:

A sequence is a discrete structure used to represent an ordered list.

Explanation:

Discrete values are values between the terms if the sequences are not included in the sequence. If you collect all the terms of the sequence into a set, that set will always be discrete, because there's only countably many of them, and every interval is uncountable. So in that sense, yes, sequences are discrete. A sequence is a discrete structure used to represent an ordered list. A sequence is a function from a subset of the set of integers (usually either the set {0,1,2,. . .} or {1,2, 3,. . .}to a set S. We use the notation an to denote the image of the integer n. We call an a term of the sequence.

Answer:

If you take any number in the sequence then subtract it by the previous one, and the result is always the same or constant then it is an arithmetic sequence.
