(All Steps) Consider the sequence defined by:


Question: Consider the sequence defined by:

\[a_{n+1}=\left\{\begin{array}{cl} \frac{1}{2} a_{n} & \text { if } a_{n} \text { is an even number } \\ 3 a_{n}+1 & \text { if } a_{n} \text { is an odd number } \end{array}\right.\]
  1. Find the first 20 terms if \(a_{1}=11\)
  2. Find the first 30 terms if \(a_{1}=25\)
  3. Choose any odd number greater than 100 for \(a_{1}\) and compute the terms o sequence until you see a pattern develop
  4. Make a conjecture about a sequence of this type.
