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;
They needed to develop multiple components in software programs. The ability to overlap the development to be more evolutionary in nature. The need to be more risk-averse or the unwillingness to take risks led to the use of a spiral model.An engineer is trying to build a new measurement tool. Which step should the engineer complete first? A. Design a model of the tool to be tested. B. Precisely define the problem that is to be solved. Selected:c. Write a list of the criteria and constraints for the tool.This answer is incorrect. D. Conduct research on how similar problems were solved in the past.
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.
(a) At a simple interest rate of 12% per year, determine how long it will take $5000 to increase to twice as much. (b) Compare the time it will take to double if the rate is 20% per year simple interest.
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
Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that there is a root of the given equation in the specified interval. Ex = 6 − 5x, (0, 1) The equation ex = 6 − 5x is equivalent to the equation f(x) = ex − 6 + 5x = 0. F(x) is continuous on the interval [0
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]
Don't break or crush mercury-containing lamps because mercury powder may be released.
A) TrueB) False
in a vehicle you're servicing the fuel pressure drops rapidly when the engine is says that one or more turned off. Technician a says that one or more could be leaking technician b says that a defective check valve in the fuel pump could be the cause who is correct
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.
