The change in memory density with time can be described by B=19.97*10^10.1977(year 1960).If a straight line projection is mode using this equation, what will be the number of memory chips/bits in the year 2020?
To calculate the number of memory chips/bits in the year 2020 using the given equation, we can substitute the year 2020 into the equation and solve for B.
The equation given is B = 19.97 * 10 ^ 10.1977(year 1960).
First, we need to calculate the difference in years between 2020 and 1960:
Difference in years = 2020 - 1960 = 60 years.
Next, substitute this difference into the equation:
B = 19.97 * 10 ^ 10.1977(60).
To solve this equation, we can use a calculator or computational software:
B ≈ 19.97 * 10 ^ 10.1977(60)
≈ 19.97 * 10 ^ 10.1977(60)
≈ 19.97 * 10 ^ 61.8622
≈ 19.97 * (10 ^ 61.8622)
The final result will be the number of memory chips/bits in the year 2020.
