Quiz problems:

Even though sequences are not the same as functions, we can use our understanding of functions to draw conclusions about sequences. The first sequence on the quiz follows a rational function — we know that the rational function has a horizontal asymptote, and from this we can conclude that the sequence has a limit.

A sequence is an ordered list of values. We can think of the “index” (a.k.a. the position in the sequence) as an input; and we can think of the value located *at* that position as an output. In this way, sequences can also be seen as functions.
