$\frac{0}{1}$ point

We are interested in the forces at a footing due to dead, live, and earthquake loads. The horizontal forces are $0\mathrm{.}7$ for dead, $0\mathrm{.}9$ for live, and $4\mathrm{.}4$ for earthquake. The vertical forces are $2\mathrm{.}6$ for dead, $3\mathrm{.}9$ for live, and $3\mathrm{.}8$ for earthquake. For vertical forces, positive indicates compression and negative indicates uplift. Apply all the relevant load combinations. All forces are in kips. Use the $0\mathrm{.}5$ factor for live load.

Determine the largest shear force in kips to two decimals $($absolute value in either direction$).$

$6\mathrm{.}14$ is not the right answer!!!
