The video tutorial explains a sequence where a YouTuber gives out money in a geometric progression: $1 to the first person, $2 to the second, $4 to the third, and so on. The sequence is analyzed to identify its pattern, revealing it as a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2. The tutorial provides a recursive definition and a closed formula for determining the amount of money the nth person will receive. The recursive definition is given as a_n = 2 * a_(n-1) with an initial condition of a_1 = 1. The closed formula is derived as a_n = 2^(n-1).
