I want to know the difference between a sequence and a progression.\r

\r\n" );
document.write( "Well, the sequence of 9 times each term is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "9,99,999,9999,...\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "which is the sequence with nth term \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the sequence 9,99,999,9999,... has nth term \r\n" );

document.write( "is th of the coresponding term of that,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the desired sequence is \r\n" );
