Choose any positive integer. Powers of two here are not very interesting, so choose something else. If the number you have chose

n is even, divide it by two. If it's odd, multiply it by three and add one. Now, with the result, repeat the same process. If the number is even divide it by two. If it's odd multiply it by three and add one. Keep repeating this process on the outcome. You will generate (*recursively*) a sequence of positive integers.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the integer be 6 for even and 7 for odd (say)

For 6, we divide by 2, now get 3.  Now we multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 10. Now since 10 is even divide by 5, now multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 16.  Now divide by 2 again by 2 again by 2 again by 2 till we get rid of even numbers.

The result is 1, so multiply by 3 and add 1 we get 4 now divide 2 times by 2 to get 1, thus this result now again repeats after 2 times.

Say if we select off number 3, multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 10 now divide by 5, now repeat the same process as above for 5 until we get 1 and it gets repeated every third time.

Thus whether odd or even after some processes, we get 1 and the process again and again returns to 1.

Given that G=ab find the percentage increase in G when both a and b<br> increase by 10%
monitta

The percentage change in G is 21 %

<h3>What is Percentage change ?</h3>

Percentage change is defined as the increase or decrease in the value as compared to the original value multiplied by 100.

It is given that

G = ab

when a is increased by 10% the new a will be = 1.1 a

When b is increased by 10% the new b will be 1.1 b

So,

G' = 1.1a *1.1 b

G' = 1.21 ab

G' = 1.21

(G' - G)*100/G = (1.21-1)*100/1

The percentage change is 21 %

Angle RZT=110<br> Angle RZS=3s<br> Angle TZS=8s<br> What are angles RZS and TZS?
nekit [7.7K]
Angles RZT, RZS, and TZS form triangle RZT, so they sum to 180.  Thus, we have:

110+3s+8s=180

Simplifying, we have:

11s=70

Dividing by 11, we see that:

s=70/11

Therefore, RZS=3s=210/11, and TZS=8s=560/11.
