Isn’t the chart incorrect or its description imprecise?

[edit]

I noticed that the chart looks somehow incorrect. Image description states “Syracuse sequence starting 15.” Such sequence goes as follows: 15, 46, 23, 70, 35, 106, 53, 160, 80, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, and when plotted it looks as below.

A plot of the Syracuse (Collatz) sequence starting at 15 – generated using MathWorks® MATLAB® R2021a.

The shape of the above plot is different from the one of Syracuse15.png. Possibly the original plot should be corrected or its image’s description is inaccurate and needs clarification. --- El Lobo (talk) 18:39, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
