Moores Law The speed of a computer chip is closely related to the number of transistors on the chip, and the number of transistors on a chip has increased with time in a remarkably consistent way. In fact, in the year 1965, Dr. Gordon E. Moore now chairman emeritus of Intel Corporation observed a trend and predicted that it would continue for a time. His observation, now known as Moores law, is that every two years or so a chip is introduced with double the number of transistors of its fastest predecessor. This law can be restated in the following way: If time increases by 1year, then the number of transistors is multiplied by 100.15.More generally, the rule is that if time increases by tyears, then the number of transistors is multiplied by 100.15t.For example, after 8years, the number of transistors is multiplied by 100.158, or about 16. The 6th generation Core processor was released by Intel Corporation in the year 2015. a.If a chip were introduced in the year 2022, how many times the transistors of the 6th generation Core would you expect it to have? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. b.The limit of conventional computing will be reached when the size of a transistors on a chip will be 200 times that of the 6th generation Core. When, according to Moores law, will that limit be reached? c.Even for unconventional computing, the law of physics impose a limit on the speed of computation. The fastest speed possible corresponds to having about 1040 times the number of transistors as on the 6th generation Core. Assume that Moores law will continue to be valid even for unconventional computing, and determine when this limit will be reached. Round your answer to the nearest century.arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.

Quarterly Pine Pulpwood PricesIn southwest Georgia, the average pine pulpwood prices vary predictably over the course of the year, primarily because of weather. Prices in 2009 followed this pattern. At the beginning of the first quarter, the average price P was 9 per ton. During the first quarter, prices declined steadily to 8 per ton, then remained steady at 8 per ton through the end of the third quarter. During the fourth quarter, prices increased steadily from 8 to 10 per ton. a.Sketch a graph of pulpwood prices as a function of the quarter in the year. b.What formula for price P as a function of t, the quarter, describes the price from the beginning of the year through the first quarter? c.What formula for price P as a function of t, the quarter, describes the price from the first to the third quarter? d.What formula for price P as a function of t, the quarter, describes the price from the third to the fourth quarter? e.Write a formula for price P throughout the year as a piecewise-defined function of t, the quarter.arrow_forward

Insect ControlDDT dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane was used extensively from 1940 to 1970 as an insecticide. It still sees limited use for control of disease. But DDT was found to be harmful to plants and animals, including humans, and its effects were found to be lasting. The amount of time that DDT remains in the environment depends on many factors, but the following table shows what can be expected of 100 kilograms of DDT that has seeped into the soil. t=time,inyearssinceapplication D=DDTremaining,inkilograms 0 100.00 1 95.00 2 90.25 3 85.74 a.

Drug Concentration When a drug is administered orally, it takes some time before the blood concentration reaches its maximum level. After that time, concentration levels decrease. When 500 milligrams of procainamide is administered orally, one model for a particular patient gives blood concentration C, in milligrams per liter, after t hours as C=2.65(e0.2te2t) During what time period is the drug concentration level at least 1.5 milligrams per liter?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Cleaning Contaminated Water A tank of water is contaminated with 60 pounds of salt. In order to bring the salt concentration down to a level consistent with EPA standards, clean water is being piped into tank, and the well-mixed overflow is being collected for removal to a toxic-waste site. The result is that at the end of each hour, there is 22 less salt in the tank than at the beginning of the hour. Let S=S(t) denote the number of pounds of salt in the tank t hours after the flushing process begins. a. Explain why S is an exponential function and find its hourly decay factor. b. Give a formula for S. c. Make a graph of S that shows the flushing process during the first 15 hours, and describe in words how the salt removal process progresses. d. In order to meet EPA standards, there can be no more than 3 pounds of salt in the tank. How long must the process continue before EPA standards are met? e. Suppose this cleanup procedure costs 8000 per hour to operate. How much does it cost to reduce the amount of salt from 60 pounds to 3 pounds? How much does it cost to reduce the amount of salt from 3 pounds to 0.1 pound?arrow_forwardReminderRound all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. HydrographsWhen a rainfall brings more water than the soil can absorb, runoff occurs, and hydrologists refer to the event as a rainfall excess. The easiest way to envision runoff is to think of a watershed that drains into the mouth of a single stream. The runoff is the number of cubic feet per minute cfpm being dumped into the mouth of the stream. An important way of depicting runoff is the hydrograph, which is simply the graph of total discharge, in cubic feet per minute, versus time. A typical runoff hydrograph is shown in Figure 1.47. The horizontal axis is hours since rainfall excess began. A hydrograph displays a number of important features. a. Time to peak is the elapsed time from the start of rainfall excess to peak runoff. What is the time to peak shown by the hydrograph in Figure 1.47? b. Time of concentration is the elapsed time from the end of rainfall excess to the inflection point after peak runoff. The end of rainfall excess is not readily apparent from a hydrograph, but it occurs before the peak. If the end of rainfall excess occurred 5 hours after the start of rainfall excess. estimate the time of concentration from Figure 1.47. c. Recession time is the time from peak runoff to the end of runoff. Estimate the recession time for the hydrograph in Figure 1.47. d. Time base is the time from beginning to end of surface runoff. What is the time base for the hydrograph in Figure 1.47? FIGURE 1.47 A runoff hydrographarrow_forward
