One of the inventors of integrated circuits observed that the number of transistors that fit on an integrated circuit will double every 24 months. what type of relationship most appropriately models this situation?

Question: a) does the given set of points represent a linear function? how do you know? b) assume that the point (-2,4) lies on the graph of a line. what y-values could complete this set of ordered pairs that lie on the same line: (- (hint: there are several correct answ
