hi

Are you still on these questions? xD

OpenStudy (anayabbg):

xd

There's really nothing to figure out. Just plug in the numbers into the function and see what you get.

OpenStudy (across):

Yes. This project is literally a walkthrough.

OpenStudy (across):

Okay.

OpenStudy (across):

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).

OpenStudy (across):

Then apply \(f\) ten times to it.

OpenStudy (across):

\[f\left(\frac12\right)=4\frac12-\frac1{2^2}=2-\frac14=\frac74\\ f\left(\frac74\right)=4\frac74-\frac{7^2}{4^2}=7-\frac{49}{16}=\frac{63}{16}\] Do this eight more times.

OpenStudy (across):

It's literally the same thing, except starting with\[\frac{51}{100}.\]

OpenStudy (across):

Are you by any chance required to use software to solve these?

OpenStudy (across):

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

OpenStudy (across):

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.
