$6\mathrm{.}6-3$ A W$1499$ of A$992$ steel is used as a $14-$foot$-$long beam$-$column with $K_x=0\mathrm{.}9$ and $K_y=1\mathrm{.}0.($An analysis was performed consistent with the effective length method; therefore, the flexural rigidity, $EI,$ was unreduced.$)$ The member is braced against sidesway, and there are transverse loads between the ends. The member is subjected to the following service loads and moments: an axial compressive load of $342$ kips and a bending moment of $246ft-$kips about the strong axis. The composition of each is $33\%$ dead load and $67\%$ live load. Use $C_b=1\mathrm{.}6$ and determine whether this member satisfies the provisions of the AISC Specification.

a$.$ Use LRFD$.$

b$.$ Use ASD.
