<span>Half-span is half of span. Pitch of the roof is calculated as rise/(span/2). In this case, rise is 8 feet and span is 30 feet. So, the pitch can be calculated as 8/(30/2) or 8/15. Pitch is normally represented as the number of inches of rise per foot. So, to reduce 8/15 to match a foot, we multiply it by 12. So, (8/15) * 12 gives us 6.4 inches of rise per foot.</span>
Equation B is written in vertex form, which means you can read the vertex (extreme value) from the numbers in the equation.
Vertex form is
y = a(x -h)² + k
where the vertex (extreme point) is (h, k). Whether that is a maximum or a minimum depends on the sign of "a". When "a" is negative, the graph is a parabola that opens downward, so the vertex is a maximum.
Equation
B reveals its extreme value without needing to be altered.
The extreme value of this equation is a
maximum at the point
(2, 5).
