Elevations of towns math math math algebra math math math math algebra

Two towns have different elevations, but when the elevations are used as inputs of f(e), they both produce an output of 25.

What are the elevations of the two towns?

It seems like some of the information from the problem is missing. Please look at your problem statement again and be sure to provide all of the info.

David...maybe some thing is missing but I have a strong feeling that the only way that TWO different numbers, when used as INPUT into a function f(e), I suspect that the function could be to compute the ABSOLUTE VALUE of e. So one elevation could be (-e) and the other can be (+e) and so f(e) could be equal to |e|, and so |-25| = |25|. Just a thought...

Hi


I'm going to post what I put in the comment section to answer this question


Consider that f(e) = |e| and that the elevations of the TWO towns are e = -25 and e = +25. So with that the ABSOLUTE VALUE of e is always positive.


f(e) = |e|

f(-25) = |-25| = 25 and f(25) = |25)| = 25

Both answers are 25.


Hope this helps...
