A sequence is infinite if its terms eventually exceed any number we choose. For example the sequence 2,4,6,8,10 can go up to tens of thousands of numbers. A sequence is finite if we have a first and last term and follows a specific order. One example is the sequence of Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday,Sunday.

Answer:
Finite Sequence- a sequence with a definite number of terms where in first and last term are clearly identified.
Example:
Sequence First Term Last Term No. of terms
1,2,3,4,5 1 5 5
38,33,28,23,
18,13 38 13 6
Infinite Sequence- a sequence with no definite number of terms.
Example:
-9,-2,5,12,19,...
27,9,3,1,1/3,1/9,...
1/2,1/4,1/6,1/8...
