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?

multiply  42 m by 1.41 = 59.22

59.22 x 59.22 = 3507.0084

3507 = 3 billion

59.22  x 20  = 1 billion

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
