Question 164838: IN 1988, the number of transmitters in the Intel 386 Sx was 275,000. It has doubled every 24 months since then. Write an equation that predicts the number of transmitters in a micro processer n years after 1988.

So in 1990, n=2,
In 1992, n=4,
In 1994, n=6,
In 1996, n=8,
If we look at the exponent of 2, it is always 1/2 of n or (n/2).

where T is the number of transmitters (transistors?) and n is the number of years after 1988.
