Answer:
the transistors have L=1 mm of linear size
Step-by-step explanation:
For the silicon chip the area is A=1 cm² and for the transistors the area is At=L² (L=linear size) . Then since N= 10 billion transistors of area At should fit in the area A
A=N*At
A=N*L²
solving for L
L= √(A/N)
Assuming that 1 billion=10⁹ (short scale version of billion), then
L= √(A/N) = √(1 cm²/10⁹) = 1 cm / 10³ = 1 mm
then the transistors have L=1 mm of linear size
For question number 1:The plot H = H(t) is the parabola and it reaches its maximum in the moment when exactly at midpoint between the roots t = 0 and t = 23. At that moment t = 23/2 or 11.5 seconds.
For question number 2:To find the maximal height, just simply substitute t = 11.5 into the quadratic equation. The answer would be 22.9.
For question number 3:H(t) = 0, or, which is the same as -16t^2 + 368t = 0.Factor the left side to get -16*t*(t - 23) = 0.t = 0, relates to the very start of the process, when the ash started its way up.The other root is t = 23 seconds, and it is precisely the time moment when the bit of ash will go back to the ground.
Use the FOIL method (first, outside, inside, last) to multiply:
2x^2-8x+3x-12
This can be simplified even more into:
2x^2-5x-12.
Hope this helped!
