Equations of Sequence Patterns, Sequences, Series and Induction, Precalculus

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This video shows an example of writing an algebraic equation for the pattern of blocks that grows at each iteration. Sal shows how to find the pattern by looking at the iteration number and number of blocks. He then continues this example by looking at the rate of change in a block as the slope in a linear relationship.
