I'm assuming that the pitch of this roof is in fact its slope...

Slopes are basically tangents...

tan(x)=Opposite/Adjacent

-------

tan(x)=9/7

-------

This means that the answer is D), 9/7.

Answer:

D. \frac{9}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the pitch of a roof that has a height of 9 ft and a horizontal run of 7.

We know that slope of a line represents the relation between rise over run. The run is the horizontal distance between to x-coordinates and rise is vertical distance between two y-coordinates.

\text{Slope}=\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}  

\text{Slope}=\frac{9}{7}  

Therefore, the pitch of roof is \frac{9}{7} and option D is the correct choice.

Which term describes a function in which the y-values form a geometric sequence
romanna [79]
The geometric sequence is a sequence in which the proceeding number is equal to the preceeding number multiplied by a ratio. The expression that represents this sequence is an = a1*r^(n-1) where r is the ratio and n is an integer. This type of formula is exponential

What is 1/2(x+14) because i am having trouble solving it and no calculator has been able to help me also.

Hi there!  

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:  

\frac{1}{2}x+7

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Here’s why:  

⸻⸻⸻⸻

\boxed{\text{Simplifying the equation...}}\\\\\frac{1}{2}(x+14)\\------------\\\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}*x = \frac{1}{2}x\\\\\rightarrow\frac{1}{2}*14=7\\\\\rightarrow     \frac{1}{2}(x+14)= \boxed{\frac{1}{2}x+7}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
