f (1) = 2 * 1 = 2
f 2(1) = 2 * 2 * 1 = 4
f 3(1) = 2 * 2 * 2 * 1 = 8

1. If you continue this pattern, what do you expect would happen to the numbers as the number of iterations grows? Check your result by conducting at least 10 iterations.

2. Repeat the process with an initial value of −1. What happens as the number of iterations grows?
