The main cable of a suspension bridge forms a parabola modeled by the equation y = a(x – H)2 + k where y is the

height in feet of the cable above the road, x is the horizontal distance in feet from the right bridge support, a is a
constant, and (h, k) is the parabola's vertex. What is the maximum and minimum height of the bridge modeled by the
equation y = 0.005(x - 60)2 + 8?
O maximum height = 100 feet and minimum height = 26 feet
O maximum height = 100 feet and minimum height = 8 feet
O maximum height = 60 feet and minimum height = 26 feet
O maximum height = 26 feet and minimum height = 8 feet
