Width of the actual barrier = 1.2 miles

Width of the barrier in the blueprint = 2 inches

2 inch dimension of blueprint = 1.2 miles of original

So, 1 inch dimension of blueprint = 1.2/2 = 0.6 miles.

Since the length of the barrier in the blueprint = 9 inches,

length of the actual barrier = 9(0.6) = 5.4 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cyclist completes a journey of 500m in 22 seconds, part of the of the way at 10m/s and the remainder at 50m/s. how far does she travel at each speed? ... Let x = distance traveled at 10m/s and y = distance traveled at 50m/s. ... x+y=500. 50x+10y=11000. 50x+50y=25000. 50x+10y=11000. 40y=14000.

I assume you mean -x^3 + 4x + 3 
so what you need is 4x + 3 > x^3
the only whole number it could be is 2 because 2x2x2 +3 > 2x2x2

If f(x) = 1 – x, which value is equivalent to |f(i)|? options are:
g100num [7]
We have to determine which value is equivalent to | f ( i ) | if the function is: f ( x ) = 1 - x. We know that for the complex number: z = a + b i , the absolute value is: | z | = sqrt( a^2 + b^2 ). In this case: | f ( i )| = | 1 - i |. So: a = 1, b = - 1. | f ( i ) | = sqrt ( 1^2 + ( - 1 )^2) = sqrt ( 1 + 1 ) = sqrt ( 2 ). Answer: <span>C. sqrt( 2 )</span>
