I'm trying to feel out a hypothetical compound growth formula for a youtube channel, to compare its growth metrics to the actual growth it sees over time, but I don't really know how to use log functions on calculators or any good online ones. Can any of you direct me to some useful information regarding those that is fairly dumbed down for people that are... lacking in math knowledge? (I got continuously hung up when shit got to the quadratic formula, for reference).
Assuming a youtube video gets 100 views its first day + 25 views every following day at base, and each youtube video uploaded increases the value by 1% (so base value for the first video would go up to 101 + 25.25, etc), what will be the average amount of views per video if one were to upload 2 videos a week for a year?
I have no idea how to go about solving this; I'm not asking for the exact answer, but a useful place to plug in the information and tinker with the formula myself.
Sorry that this is probably poorly worded, like I mentioned, I'm not great at... brain... thinky thing...
Pic mostly unrelated.

Is that a touhou?

Nobody on this board actually knows how to do math, you're best bet would be asking the /g/eniuses over in the technology board.

(100+x(25))+y(1%)
X=days
Y=videos
Did I do this right?

I like your Touhou
OP, can you elaborate in how this percentage works? I didn't understand exactly in what your initial 1% will influence.
In your example "101 + 25.25", shouldn't this number of views, that have already been recorded in their respective days, not be influenced by the percentage created by video uploads?

Hey, there is a simulation done in c++: http://pastebin.com/ECHp0JCy
Paste it in this site and run: https://repl.it/languages/cpp
Is that what you wanted, OP?

whoa, hey, that looks exactly like what I was asking for. Thanks a lot!

Is that so? If you have any questions just say the word.
