A curve
Moore's Law states essentially the exponential nature of the curve existing between transistor count in a single chip and passed time in years. Although in most websites and sources, the curve shown is straight with transistor # being in the Y axis, it must be observed, Moore stated that the curve is exponential. Thus the graphs, if linear are logarithmic curves, as a log graph for an exponential curve is linear in nature. So instead of transistor nos (x) , we use ln(x)
The graph of a linear function is a line with a constant slope. The graph of an exponential function is a curve with a non-constant slope. The slope of a given curve at a specified point is the derivative evaluated at that point.
Absolute growth rate(agr) curve enables us to express the growth of organisms in terms f growth rate. In most organism, agr increases steadily until reaches a maximum and then, gradually falls. Agr is a bell-shaped curve.
