Step 1
Step 1: Understand Moore's Law - Moore's Law is the observation that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every two years, leading to an increase in computing power and a decrease in relative cost. Show more…

The idea that the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years is known as Moore's Law. True False

Exponential growth cannot continue indefinitely. After only a relatively small number of doublings, exponentially growing quantities reach impossible proportions. 1. True 2. False

In $1965,$ Intel cofounder Gordon Moore initiated what has since become known as Moore's Law the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits will double approximately every 18 months. The table below lists the number of transistors (in thousands) for different years. $$\begin{array}{l|lcccccccc} \text { Year } & 1971 & 1974 & 1978 & 1982 & 1985 & 1989 & 1993 & 1997 & 2000 & 2002 & 2003 & 2007 \\ \hline \text { Transistors } & 2.3 & 5 & 29 & 120 & 275 & 1180 & 3100 & 7500 & 42,000 & 220,000 & 410,000 & 789,000 \end{array}$$ a. Assuming that Moore's law is correct and transistors double every 18 months, which mathematical model best describes this law: linear, quadratic, logarithmic, exponential, power? What specific function describes Moore's law? b. Which mathematical model best fits the listed sample data? c. Compare the results from parts (a) and (b). Does Moore's law appear to be working reasonably well?
