Are you still on these questions? xD

There's really nothing to figure out. Just plug in the numbers into the function and see what you get.
Yes. This project is literally a walkthrough.
Okay.
Choose an initial value that is between 0 and 4 and is not a whole number. If I were you, I would choose 1/2 (lazy).
Then apply \(f\) ten times to it.
\[f\left(\frac12\right)=4\frac12-\frac1{2^2}=2-\frac14=\frac74\\ f\left(\frac74\right)=4\frac74-\frac{7^2}{4^2}=7-\frac{49}{16}=\frac{63}{16}\] Do this eight more times.
It's literally the same thing, except starting with\[\frac{51}{100}.\]
Are you by any chance required to use software to solve these?
I don't want to do this by hand because I am lazy AF. Give me a second to write a computer program to do it for me.
I got these numbers using 0.5: 1.75, 3.9375, 0.24609375, 0.923812866210938, 2.84182125306688, 3.2913369778849, 2.33244880954708, 3.88947778903073, 0.429873684759558, 1.53470335418947
I got these numbers using 0.5 + 0.01: 1.7799, 3.95155599, 0.19142921789512, 0.729071726116543, 2.38474132264362, 3.85197411465044, 0.570191878664714, 1.95564873616366, 3.99803296539612, 0.00786426919039052
So, as you can see, the values differ tremendously as the iterations increase, which implies that the system is chaotic.
Those are the answers to 9, 10, and 11.
