The equation of a exponential growth function is equal to:
[tex]y=a(1+r)^x[/tex]Where:
y = the number of transistors
x = the number of years = 7 years
a = the initial value = 949,000
r = the rate of change = 41% = 0.41
Substitute the values:
[tex]y=949000(1+0.41)^7=949000(1.41)^7=10514775.41[/tex]Round to the nearest whole number: 10,514,775
Answer: 10,514,775 transistors
