Your macOS installation is corrupted and you want to boot from an external Thunderbolt hard drive to repair the installation. Which key(s) do you hold down at startup to boot from the external hard drive?

Create a function (prob3_6) that will do the following: input a positive scalar integer x. if x is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1. if the given x is even, divide it by 2. repeat this rule on the new value until you get 1, if ever. your program will output how many operations it had to perform to get to 1 and the largest number along the way. for example, start with the number 3: because 3 is odd, we multiply by 3 and add 1 giving us 10. 10 is even so we divide it by 2, giving us 5. 5 is odd so we multiply by 3 and add one, giving us 16. we divide 16 (even) by two giving 8. we divide 8 (even) by two giving 4. we divide 4 (even) by two giving 2. we divide 2 (even) by 2 to give us 1. once we have one, we stop. this example took seven operations to get to one. the largest number we had along the way was 16. every value of n that anyone has ever checked eventually leads to 1, but it is an open mathematical problem (known as the collatz conjectureopens in new tab) whether every value of n eventually leads to 1. your program should include a while loop and an if-statement.

7. design a circuit with three inputs (x, y, and z) representing the bits in a binary number, and three outputs (a, b, and c) also representing bits in a binary number. when the input is 1, 2, or 3, the binary output should be one lesser than the input. when the input is 4, 5, or 6, the binary output should be one greater than the input. when the input is 0, the output is 0, and when the input is 7, the output is 7. show your truth table, all computations for simplification, and the final circuit.
