    • Approached

    • Fine

    • Done

    • Over

    Correct Answer
    A. Approached
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Approached" because when a series converges, it means that the terms of the series get closer and closer to a certain number as the series progresses. This number is called the limit of the series. So, the terms of the series "approach" the limit value as the series goes on. Therefore, "Approached" is the appropriate word to describe the behavior of a number in a converging series.

    • Over

    • Broken

    Correct Answer
    A. Divergent
    Explanation
    A sequence which does not converge is said to be divergent. This means that the terms in the sequence do not approach a specific value or limit as the sequence progresses. Instead, the terms may fluctuate or diverge in different directions, indicating that the sequence does not have a well-defined limit.

    • Line of figures

    • Sequence of sums

    Correct Answer
    A. Sequence of sums
    Explanation
    A series can be defined as a sequence of sums, where each term is obtained by adding the previous terms in the sequence. It involves continuously adding numbers in a specific order, resulting in a sum at each step. This definition highlights the primary characteristic of a series, which distinguishes it from other options such as addition, collection of numbers, or line of figures. A series focuses on the cumulative sum of terms, rather than individual numbers or a visual representation.

    • Function

    • Slope

    • Integral

    Correct Answer
    A. Finite limit
    Explanation
    A series that converges means that the sum of its terms approaches a specific value as the number of terms increases. This specific value is called the limit of the series. In this case, the correct answer is "Finite limit" because a convergent series has a limit that is a finite number, meaning it is not infinite or undefined.

    • Limit of a sequence

    • Or donation

    Correct Answer
    A. Limit of a sequence
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Limit of a sequence". In analysis, the concept of limit of a sequence is fundamental. It refers to the value that a sequence approaches as the terms of the sequence get closer and closer to a certain value. The limit of a sequence helps in understanding the behavior and properties of the sequence, and it is crucial in various areas of mathematics, such as calculus and real analysis.

    • Limiting power

    • Interval of convergence

    Correct Answer
    A. Interval of convergence
    Explanation
    The interval of convergence refers to the range of values for which a series converges. It represents the set of all input values that will result in a convergent series. This interval can be determined using various methods such as the power rule or limiting power. Therefore, the correct answer is "Interval of convergence."

    • Limit of a function

    • Theorem

    • Input theory

    Correct Answer
    A. Limit of a function
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Limit of a function." In calculus and analysis, the concept of the limit of a function refers to the behavior of the function as it approaches a specific input value. It helps determine if the function approaches a certain value or becomes infinite as the input approaches a given value. This concept is crucial in understanding the continuity, differentiability, and overall behavior of functions in calculus and analysis.

    • Number

    • Figure 

    • Value

    Correct Answer
    A. Finite value
    Explanation
    A limit converges if it has a finite value. This means that as the input approaches a certain value, the output of the function approaches a specific number, rather than becoming infinitely large or undefined. In other words, the function "settles down" and approaches a fixed value as the input gets closer and closer to a certain point.

    • Limit line

    • Number line

    • Limitation

    Correct Answer
    A. Radius of convergence
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Radius of convergence". This term refers to the interval in which a power series converges. It represents the distance from the center of the power series to the nearest point where the series converges. The radius of convergence determines the range of values for which the power series provides an accurate approximation of the function it represents.
