A Ferris wheel at an amusement park is modeled by (x – 100)2 + (y – 75)2 = 4,900, where the measurements are in feet. A slingshot attraction is modeled by y = –3x2 + 48x – 30. Which attraction reaches a greater height, and what does it represent in terms of the context?
The slingshot reaches a greater height at 162 feet, which is the vertex of the parabola.
