     162
   +207
=   369
     
      
Okay, so it says he descends 285 feet after he's climbed 369 feet. That means he needs to descend a bit more to reach 453 feet, which we'll just call 0 for now. First, we need to do some subtraction:

  369
- 285
=  84  

Okay, we know he needs to descend 84 feet to get to his starting point.
So your answer is C

Identify which of the twelve basic functions listed below fit the description given. 1 ,y1+e y=x,y=xy=*',y = lxl.y = y=e"y= V,y
skelet666 [1.2K]

remember that local minimuns are points in which the function was decreasing and starts increasing.

you can try two ways of doing it, graphing the functions or using derivatives.

since this are twelve functios the easier way is to graph them.

start by function y=x

in this case this function is continously increasing as x increases, which means that it does not have any local maxima or minima.

now do the same for

y=x^2

this graph has a local minima on th
