According to Moore's law the number of transistors that can be placed on a integrated circuit has doubled every 2 years. In 1971 there were only 2300 transistors on an integrated circuit. Find an exponential function T(x)=Cax that gives the number of transistors on an integrated circuit X years after 1971. Evaluate T(40) and interpret your results Determine the year when integrated circuits first had 10 million transistors.
