The it team is updating the company firewall application. the project includes creating a duplicate firewall for testing. the testing process took one day. a code review to verify that the update was safe also took one day. once testing was complete the live firewall was updated and functioning within two hours. the it manager has been asked to justify the cost of creating a duplicate firewall and the time to test it. what is the most appropriate explanation?

Write a program that takes in 3 inputs [players (int type), expected game time (double type), team (char type)] and calculates actual game time (double) based on the following conditions: if the number of players or the expected game time is less than or equal to zero, it should output wrong input if the number of players is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 6 and if they are on the â€r’ or â€r’ team, their game time will be 10% faster. and if they are on the â€b’ or â€b’ team, their game time will be 15% faster. and if they are on the â€y’ or â€y’ team, their game time will be 20% faster. and if they are on any other team, they will play 0% faster. if the number of players is greater than 6 but less than or equal to 12 and if they are on the â€r’ or â€r’ team, their game time will be 20% faster. and if they are on the â€b’ or â€b’ team, their game time will be 25% faster. and if they are on the â€y’ or â€y’ team their game time will be 30% faster. and if they are on any other team, they will play 0% faster. if the number of players is greater than 12 but less than or equal to 18 and if they are on the â€r’ or â€r’ team, their game time will be 30% faster. and if they are on the â€b’ or â€b’ team, their game time will be 35% faster. and if they are on the â€y’ or â€y’ team, their game time will

Alook-up table used to convert pixel values to output values on a monitor. essentially, all pixels with a value of 190 or above are shown as white (i.e. 255), and all values with a value of 63 or less are shown as black (i.e. 0). in between the pixels are scaled so that a pixel with a value p is converted to a pixel of value 2/127 −+3969). if a pixel has a value of 170 originally, what value will be used to display the pixel on the monitor? if a value of 110 is used to display the pixel on the monitor, what was the original value of the pixel?

Given a link with a maximum transmission rate of 32.8 mbps. only two computers, x and y, wish to transmit starting at time t = 0 seconds. computer x sends filex (4 mib) and computer y sends filey (244 kib), both starting at time t = 0. statistical multiplexing is used, with details as follows packet payload size = 1000 bytes packet header size = 24 bytes (overhead) ignore processing and queueing delays assume partial packets (packets consisting of less than 1000 bytes of data) are padded so that they are the same size as full packets. assume continuous alternating-packet transmission. computer x gets the transmission medium first. at what time (t = ? ) would filey finish transmitting? give answer in milliseconds, without units, and round to one decimal places (e.g. for an answer of 0.013777 seconds you would enter "13.8" without the quotes)
