This involves analyzing the transformations \( n \to \frac{n}{2} \) (for even numbers) and \( n \to \frac{3n + 1}{2} \) (for odd numbers). === Step 1: Transformation Behavior === ==== Case 1: \( n \) is even ==== When \( n \) is even: \[ n \to \frac..."

ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Yes, I am familiar with the 3n+1 conjecture, also known as the Collatz conjecture. It is an unsolved problem in mathematics that involves sequences of positive integers following a simple iterative rule: Start with any positive integer nn. If nn is even, divide it by 2 (n→n/2n→n/2). If nn is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1 (n→3n+1n→3n+1). Repeat the process. The conjecture states..."
