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 equatio

Nitella [24]

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

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 5$ (1)

The equation for the path of the bean bag

$y = 0.5x^{2} + 1.5x - 4$ (2)

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

$x^{2} + (0.5x^{2} + 1.5x - 4)^{2} = 5$

$x^{2} + 0.25x^{4} + 1.5x^{3} - 4x^{2} + 2.25x^{2} - 12x + 16 = 5$

$0.25x^{4} + 1.5x^{3} - 0.75x^{2} - 12x + 11 = 0$

By solving for x, we have:

x₁ = 1

x₂ = 2

Now, for y we have (eq 2):

x₁ = 1

$y_{1} = 0.5(1)^{2} + 1.5(1) - 4 = -2$

x₂ = 2

$y_{2} = 0.5(2)^{2} + 1.5(2) - 4 = 1$

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

Jason Witten's Salary Negotiation Let's say that tight end Jason Witten (a football player) was given two options when negotiati

Leokris [45]

Answer:

Option 1: It is better for him to be paid per catch, starting with 1 cent and doubling with each catch up to 110

Explanation:

If Jason were to be paid per catch given that he makes a total of 110 catches for the 2017 season in his new contract, he would make a total of :

0.01 × 2^109 = $6.4903711e+30(calculator result, means 6 then 30 digits after)

Therefore it is better for Jason to be paid per catch and not a flat fee of $2000000

The correlation coefficient for the ages of drivers in a driver safety class and the number of traffic violations they have rece

Doss [256]

A correlation coefficient is always a value in between -1 and 1
The closest a coefficient to -1, the correlation is a strong negative correlation
The closest a coefficient to 1, the correlation is a strong positive correlation
The closest a coefficient to 0, there is no correlation at all

The coefficient -0.61 shows a strong negative correlation
This means that the relationship between the age and the violation is an inverse relationship; as age increases, violation decreases

Polygons ABCD and EFGH are similar. Find the length of EH?

3241004551 [841]

Most likely, polygon ABCD has sides of known lengths.
It is also likely that one of the sides of polygon EFGH (not EH) is also known. For instance, its side EF.

If the above is true, we can find the scaling factor as a ratio between lengths of corresponding sides:
r=EFAB

Since this ratio is constant for any two corresponding lengths,
r=EHAD

From the last two equations we can derive:
EH=AD⋅EFAB
