Which of the following tasks might a civil engineer perform during a project’s construction phase in a design-build approach? (Select all that apply.)


Work with construction management to solve specific problems as they arise.

Draw up the contracts for construction management.

Ensure compliance with safety standards.

Provide information on design changes.

Answer:

B. Precisely define the problem that is to be solved.

Explanation:

Engineering can be defined as the scientific and technological principles that is used for the design, development, operation and control of tools, machines or equipments, structures and systems. These machines, tools, systems and structures are typically designed and developed for the purpose of solving peculiar problems relating to human life. Simply stated, engineering is focused on proffering solutions to real life problems through a design process.

Generally, the design process comprises of series of steps used for the development of various tools, machines, structures and systems. In a chronological order, the basic steps of a design process are;

1. Define the problem: to proffer a solution to any problem, you have to precisely define the problem that is to be solved. Therefore, this is the first step of the design process.

2. Conduct a research: the engineer should collect or gather data (informations) relating to the project.

3. Brainstorming and analysis of data: this is the stage where the engineer conceptualize his or her ideas.

4. Create a prototype or simulated model of the product.

5. Product analytics and test: this is where the product is being used and tested for any flaw, error or defects. Thus, troubleshooting is also required at this stage.

Hence, if an engineer is trying to build a new measurement tool; the first step the engineer should complete is to precisely define the problem that is to be solved so as to have a good clear-cut understanding of the problem.

Answer:

some part of your question is incomplete

attached below is the complete question

Answer :

F(0) = -5  < 0

F(1) = e - 1 > 0

since the functions : f(0) and f(1) have opposite signs then there is a 'c' whereby F(c) = 0 ( intermediate value theorem fulfilled )

Hence there is a root in the given equation : [tex]e^x = 6 - 5x[/tex]

Explanation:

using Intermediate value Theorem

If F(x) is continuous and f(a) and f(b) have opposite signs then there will be a'c'E (a,b)  whereby F(c) = 0

given equation : [tex]e^x = 6 - 5x[/tex]   on (0,1)

and F(x) = [tex]e^x - 6 + 5x = 0[/tex]

This shows that the F(x) is continuous on (0,1)

F(0) = [tex]e^0 - 6 + 5(0)[/tex]  = -5 which is < 0

F(1) = [tex]e^1 -6 + 5(1)[/tex] = e -1 > 0  and e = 2.7182

since the functions : f(0) and f(1) have opposite signs then there is a 'c' whereby F(c) = 0 ( intermediate value theorem fulfilled )

Hence there is a root in the given equation : [tex]e^x = 6 - 5x[/tex]

Answer:

Both Technicians A and B  are correct

Explanation:

If the fluid pressure will decrease quickly in a car when the ignition says that one or more has been switched off. One or two could be leaking or the source could be a faulty check mechanism in the catalytic converter.

Answer:

it should be accuracy

Explanation:

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

Answer:

1. They needed to develop multiple components in software programs.

2. The ability to overlap the development to be more evolutionary in nature.

3. The need to be more risk-averse or the unwillingness to take risks led to the use of a spiral model.

Explanation:

Software development life cycle (SDLC) can be defined as a strategic process or methodology that defines the key steps or stages for creating and implementing high quality software applications.

In SDLC, a waterfall model can be defined as a process which involves sequentially breaking the software development into linear phases. Thus, the development phase takes a downward flow like a waterfall and as such each phase must be completed before starting another without any overlap in the process.

An incremental model refers to the process in which the requirements or criteria of the software development is divided into many standalone modules until the program is completed.

Also, a spiral model can be defined as an evolutionary SDLC that is risk-driven in nature and typically comprises of both an iterative and a waterfall model. Spiral model of SDLC consist of these phases; planning, risk analysis, engineering and evaluation.

What motivated software engineers to move from the waterfall model to the incremental or spiral model is actually due to the following fact;

Explanation:

10000=5000(1.12^x)

2=1.12^x

(log_1.12)(2)=x

x= about 6.1163

10000=5000(1.2^x)

2=1.2^x

(log_1.2)(2)=x

x= about 3.8019

compare them by saying like 20% will be 6.12/3.8 times faster

Answer:

Explanation:

One number is wrong; they all lack units.

The basic ratio is 1" = 20', so you can divide feet by 20 to find inches.

Perhaps you want decimal inches:
