Exponents, Functions, and Sequences

The video covers Unit 2 of a math course, focusing on sequences, exponentials, and logarithms. It explains arithmetic and geometric sequences, their properties, and how they relate to linear and exponential functions. The video also discusses the characteristics of exponential and logarithmic functions, including their domains, ranges, and transformations. Additionally, it covers inverse functions, residuals, and semi-log plots, providing a comprehensive review of these mathematical concepts.
