document.write( "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, $\"T=2%2A275000=2%5E1%2A275000\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In 1992, n=4, $\"T=2%2A2%2A275000=2%5E2%2A275000\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In 1994, n=6, $\"T=2%2A2%2A2%2A275000=2%5E3%2A275000\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In 1996, n=8, $\"T=2%2A2%2A2%2A2%2A275000=2%5E4%2A275000\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If we look at the exponent of 2, it is always 1/2 of n or (n/2).
\n" ); document.write( " $\"T=275000%2A2%5E%28n%2F2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where T is the number of transmitters (transistors?) and n is the number of years after 1988. \n" ); document.write( "
