Solve each equation. pls

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?

Does anyone know how to solve and graph this: 4 + | a + 2 | < 7the only part i don't get is the "4 +"

Is there a direction u in which the rate of change of f(x,y)equals=x squared minus 3 xy plus 4 y squaredx2−3xy+4y2 at p(1,2) equals 14? give reasons for your answer. choose the correct answer below. a. no. the given rate of change is smaller than the minimum rate of change. b. no. the given rate of change is larger than the maximum rate of change. c. yes. the given rate of change is larger than the minimum rate of change and smaller than the maximum rate of change.
