In a game of cornhole, Sasha tossed a bean bag and it landed at the edge of the hole. The hole can be represented by the equation x2 + y2 = 5, and the path of the bean bag can be represented by y = 0.5x2 + 1.5x – 4. To which points could she have tossed her bean bag? (–1, –2) or (–2, 1) (1, –2) or (2, 1) (–1, 2) or (–2, –1) (1, 2) or (2, –1)

In the game of cornhole, when Sasha tossed a bean bag to the edge of the hole, in which the equations of the hole and bean bag's path are x² + y² = 5 and y = 0.5x² + 1.5x - 4, respectively, she could have tossed her bean bag to the points (1, -2) or (2, 1).              

 

To find the points in which she could have tossed her bean bag, we need to intersect the two equations of the function as follows.

The equation for the hole

[tex] x^{2} + y^{2} = 5 [/tex]   (1)

The equation for the path of the bean bag

[tex] y = 0.5x^{2} + 1.5x - 4 [/tex]    (2)

By entering equation (2) into (1) we have:  

[tex]x^{2} + (0.5x^{2} + 1.5x - 4)^{2} = 5[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} + 0.25x^{4} + 1.5x^{3} - 4x^{2} + 2.25x^{2} - 12x + 16 = 5[/tex]    

[tex]0.25x^{4} + 1.5x^{3} - 0.75x^{2} - 12x + 11 = 0[/tex]

By solving for x, we have:

x₁ = 1

x₂ = 2

Now, for y we have (eq 2):

  • x₁ = 1    

[tex] y_{1} = 0.5(1)^{2} + 1.5(1) - 4 = -2 [/tex]

  • x₂ = 2

[tex] y_{2} = 0.5(2)^{2} + 1.5(2) - 4 = 1 [/tex]                                              

Therefore, the points are (1, -2) or (2, 1).
