Question

Moore's law states that the maximum number of transistors that can fit on a silicon chip doubles every two years. The function f(x)= 42(1.41) to the X power model the number of transistors, in millions, that can fit on a chip, where X is the number of years since 2000. Using this model, in what year can a chip hold 1 billion transistors?

Answer 1

multiply 42 m by 1.41 = 59.22

59.22 x 59.22 = 3507.0084

3507 = 3 billion

59.22 x 20 = 1 billion
