The cost of an 8-inch pipe line placed in an open channel in 2016 was$16.13per LF. An 18 -inch pipe cost$22.90per LF. The cross-sectional area of the pipe is considered the "capacity" in the cost capacity equation. (a) Determine the value of the exponent in the cost-capacity equation that exactly relates the two pipe sizes. (b) You learned that the FRED cost index has increased from its 2016 value to280.0now. What is your updated cost estimate for an 18 -inch pipe? a) Value of exponent,x=b) Updated Cost Estimate per LF=$
