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 [tex]x^2 + y^2 = 5[/tex], and the path of the bean bag can be represented by [tex]y = 0.5x^2 - 4x - 4[/tex]. To which points could she have tossed her bean bag?

A. [tex]\((-1, -2)\)[/tex] or [tex]\((-2, 1)\)[/tex]
B. [tex]\((1, -2)\)[/tex] or [tex]\((2, 1)\)[/tex]
C. [tex]\((-1, 2)\)[/tex] or [tex]\((-2, -1)\)[/tex]
D. [tex]\((1, 2)\)[/tex] or [tex]\((2, -1)\)[/tex]

To determine whether Sasha's bean bag landed at any of the given points on the edge of the hole, we need to check which points satisfy the equation of the hole: [tex]\(x^2 + y^2 = 5\)[/tex].

Let's evaluate each set of points:

1. Point [tex]\((-1, -2)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = -1, \quad y = -2 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ (-1)^2 + (-2)^2 = 1 + 4 = 5 \][/tex]
So, [tex]\((-1, -2)\)[/tex] is on the edge of the hole.

2. Point [tex]\((-2, 1)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = -2, \quad y = 1 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ (-2)^2 + 1^2 = 4 + 1 = 5 \][/tex]
So, [tex]\((-2, 1)\)[/tex] is on the edge of the hole.

3. Point [tex]\((1, -2)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = 1, \quad y = -2 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 1^2 + (-2)^2 = 1 + 4 = 5 \][/tex]
So, [tex]\((1, -2)\)[/tex] is on the edge of the hole.

4. Point [tex]\((2, 1)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = 2, \quad y = 1 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 2^2 + 1^2 = 4 + 1 = 5 \][/tex]
So, [tex]\((2, 1)\)[/tex] is on the edge of the hole.

5. Point [tex]\((-1, 2)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = -1, \quad y = 2 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ (-1)^2 + 2^2 = 1 + 4 = 5 \][/tex]
So, [tex]\((-1, 2)\)[/tex] is on the edge of the hole.

6. Point [tex]\((-2, -1)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = -2, \quad y = -1 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ (-2)^2 + (-1)^2 = 4 + 1 = 5 \][/tex]
So, [tex]\((-2, -1)\)[/tex] is on the edge of the hole.

7. Point [tex]\((1, 2)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = 1, \quad y = 2 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 1^2 + 2^2 = 1 + 4 = 5 \][/tex]
So, [tex]\((1, 2)\)[/tex] is on the edge of the hole.

8. Point [tex]\((2, -1)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = 2, \quad y = -1 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 2^2 + (-1)^2 = 4 + 1 = 5 \][/tex]
So, [tex]\((2, -1)\)[/tex] is on the edge of the hole.

Since all the given points:

[tex]\[ (-1, -2), (-2, 1), (1, -2), (2, 1), (-1, 2), (-2, -1), (1, 2), (2, -1) \][/tex]

all satisfy the equation [tex]\(x^2 + y^2 = 5\)[/tex], they all lie on the edge of the hole. Therefore, any of these points could represent where Sasha’s bean bag landed.
