3. What happens to the value of the function as the number of iterations
increases?
4. Choose an initial value that is less than zero. What happens to the value of
the function as the number of iterations increases?
3. As the number of iterations increases, the value of the function converges towards a specific value.
4. If the initial value is less than zero, the value of the function may oscillate or diverge as the number of iterations increases.
