Solve using graphing: During an air show, one of the pilots performs a maneuver that follows a parabolic path represented by the following equation: y=0.5x2+2x+5y=0.5x^2+2x+5 The same pilot will later perform a dive that follows a linear path that can be represented by the following equation: y=−x+5y=-x+5 At what points will the pilot cross his own path from the first maneuver?
