In the Getting Started feature of this section, we stated that in 1965 Moore's Law predicted that the number of transistors on a circuit would double every 2 years. Assuming this is true, we can model the growth of the number of transistors as T(y) = 2300(V2)y, where y is the number of years since 1971. The table shows the actual number of transistors for different Intel computers. Use the model to determine how many transistors per circuit were predicted by Moore's Law. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
