Answer:
17 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Carl dives in and touches the bottom of the pool, 15 feet below the surface of the water.
The elevation of Carl's hand would be .
Cameron is standing on a diving platform 2 feet above the surface. The elevation of Cameron's feet would be .
The vertical distance between Carl's hand and Cameron's feet would be difference of both altitudes.
Therefore, the vertical distance between Carl's hand and Cameron's feet is 17 ft.

To determine the degree of a polynomial, you look at every term:
- if the term involves only one variable, the degree of that term is the exponent of the variable
- if the term involves more than one variable, the degree of that term is the sum of the exponents of the variables.
So, for example, the degree of is 55, while the degree of
is
Finally, the term of the degree of the polynomial is the highest degree among its terms.
So, is a degree 2 polynomial (although it only has one term)
similarly, is a degree 3 polynomial: the first two terms have degree 3, because they have exponents 2 and 1.
