The correct answer I believe you are looking for is D. Elevator 1 is 13 feet above ground level, and Elevator 2 is 10 feet below ground level.
<u>Explaination:</u>
This is because if you start at (0, 0) Elevator one, will go up 13 on the y axis. Putting it at 13 feet above ground level. If you start Elevator 2 at ground level on (0, 0) and go down 10 it will make it -10 AKA 10 feet below ground level.
I hope this helps! :)

Answer:
maximum difference is 38 at x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
This is nicely solved by a graphing calculator, which can plot the difference between the functions. The attached shows the maximum difference on the given interval is 38 at x = -3.
__
Ordinarily, the distance between curves is measured vertically. Here that means you're interested in finding the stationary points of the difference between the functions, along with that difference at the ends of the interval. The maximum difference magnitude is what you're interested in.
h(x) = g(x) -f(x) = (2x³ +5x² -15x) -(x³ +3x² -2) = x³ +2x² -15x +2
Then the derivative is ...
h'(x) = 3x² +4x -15 = (x +3)(3x -5)
This has zeros (stationary points) at x = -3 and x = 5/3. The values of h(x) of concern are those at x=-5, -3, 5/3, 3. These are shown in the attached table.
The maximum difference between f(x) and g(x) is 38 at x = -3.
