The seat on a swing set sits 3 feet off the ground. The chains that are attached to the seat are 74 inches long. Suppose you were to swing: the path of the swing forms a parabola. Interpret the y-value of the vertex, in terms of the context.(1 point)

Answer 1

The y-value of the vertex represents the maximum height that the swing reaches during its motion. In this context, the y-value of the vertex refers to the maximum height above the ground that the swing reaches as it swings back and forth.
