Modeling Exponential Growth Using Patterns

The video tutorial explains how to model geometric change using sequences. It begins with an introduction to geometric sequences and the concept of a common ratio. An example is provided to illustrate how each term in a sequence is derived by multiplying the previous term by a common ratio. The tutorial then presents a problem involving photocopy enlargement, demonstrating how to calculate the size of an image after multiple enlargements using a geometric sequence. Another problem involving a dot pattern is analyzed to determine if a specific number of dots can be achieved. The lesson concludes by summarizing the key concepts of modeling exponential growth through patterns.
