Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Thumbi Irrigation Scheme in Mzimba district is under threat of flooding. In order to mitigate against the problem, authorities have decided to construct a flood protection bund (Dyke). Figure 1 is a cross section of a 300m long proposed dyke; together with its foundation (key). Survey data for the proposed site of the dyke are presented in Table 1. Table 2 provides swelling and shrinkage factors for the fill material that has been proposed. The dyke dimensions that are given are for a compacted fill. (1) Assume you are in the design office, use both the Simpson Rule and Trapezoidal Rule to compute the total volume of earthworks required. (Assume both the dyke and the key will use the same material). (2) If you are a Contractor, how many days will it take to finish hauling the computed earthworks using 3 tippers of 12m³ each? Make appropriate assumptions. DIKE CROSS SECTION OGL KEY (FOUNDATION) 2m 1m 2m 8m Figure 1: Cross section of Dyke and its foundation 1.5m from highest OGL 0.5m…
