geometric Patterns

Wow you posted this 5 times?!?!?

- sorry didnt realize it posted five times,, i only clicked submit once,,

I have not heard of a geometric pattern per say, but he is probably talking about the geometric series (a precalc/calc1 topic)

a + ar + ar^2 + ... + ar^(n-1)

where n > 0 (int)

if |r| < 1, it is convergent and the sum is:

a/(1-r)

EDIT -- oh, just noticed the "draw" in your original post...so I guess I was way off track..

I'm taking a wild guess but maybe it means like draw one triangle, then two triangles and so forth. I never encountered this "draw a geometric sequence", I don't think, in any geometry class I've taken. Once again I'm probably wrong but its a guess.

That's a pretty vague concept. How about a spiral. ie, using polar coordinates:

r = a*exp(theta)
where r = radius, a = arbitrary constant, theta = angle between r and the positive x axis.

or

x = a*exp(theta)*cos(theta)
y = a*exp(theta)*sin(theta)

what grade is this for?
