The definition of the product symbol is the product of a sequence of factors. \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x}_{\htmlClass{sdt-0000000018}{i}}\) is multiplied by all the consecutive terms to get the final result.
| \( x \) | This is a symbol for any generic variable. It can hold any value, whether that be an integer or a real number, or a complex number, or a matrix etc. |
| \( i \) | This is the symbol for an iterator, a variable that changes value to refer to a sequence of elements. |
| \( b \) | This is a symbol for any secondary generic constant. It can hold any numerical value |
| \( \prod \) | This is the product symbol in mathematics, denoted as the uppercase Greek letter Pi. It is used to indicate the product of a sequence of factors. |
| \( a \) | This is a symbol for any generic constant. It can hold any numerical value |
