6. [15 marks] During the 20th century, several computer quantities increased exponentially with time. Let's say that computer performance increased by a factor of 1.4 every year, while power dissipation increased by a factor of 1.8 every year. If performance in year 'y' is 3 TFs/s, and power dissipation in year 'y' is 4 GWs, calculate the following quantities after ten years. (Your computer may have melted). K = 10^3

a) [5 marks] performance = ______ TFs/s

b) [5 marks] power = ______ GWs

c) [5 marks] performance/power = ______ Fs/s/W
