Math Problem Statement
You are training your dog to catch a frisbee. You are playing in a large field, and you are standing next to your dog when you throw the frisbee. If the path of the frisbee is y = –x2 + 7x + 1 and the path of the dog is modeled by y = 2x + 5, will the dog catch the frisbee? If so, what are the coordinates of the point or points where they meet?
