Ataut telephone wire extends from the top of a 40-foot tall telephone pole to a stake in the
ground 9 feet away. A bug crawled from the stake in the ground up the wire to the top of the
telephone pole. Then the bug crawled down to the bottom of the pole and back to the stake. How
far did the bug crawl?
feet

they can both be solutions depends on the equation

step-by-step explanation:

what is the equation? ?

the image is given below

since the options are not given so we draw it from the equation

the given equation is

y = (x-1) (x+4)

y = y² + 3x - 4

the above equation is a quadratic equation which will have two roots. if we draw the graph for it, it will look like this
