Problems Plus 18: Finding the Center of a Polygonal Spiral

In this video I solve for the center of a polygonal spiral that is constructed by drawing a line connecting, at first, the midpoint points of the sides of a square and then connecting the midpoints of the previous lines forming an infinite spiral. I then use mathematical induction to prove the given formula for the x terms, and do the same for similar y terms. Taking the limit as n approaches infinity, I show am able to determine the center of the polygonal spiral. Truly amazing stuff!
