Remove Ads Middle School / Math / Algebraemathinstruction Sep 19, 2016 3524 views Algebra In this lesson we learn about geometric sequences, both explicitly and recursively defined. We connect these to exponential functions. Remove Ads This unit begins with a fundamental treatment of exponent rules and the development of negative and zero exponents. We then develop the concepts of exponential growth and decay from a fraction perspective. Finally, percent work allows us to develop growth models based on constant percent rates of change. Geometric sequences are tied to exponential growth in the last lesson.
