Answer:

Highest Elevation: 14240

Lowest Elevation: -285

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Highest\ Elevation = 14,240\ ft[/tex] above sea level

[tex]Lowest\ Elevation = 285\ ft[/tex] below sea level

Required

Represent both altitudes as an integer

For the Mountain:

Take the sea level as 0 feet

[tex]Altitude = Highest\ Elevation - Sea\ Level[/tex]

[tex]Altitude = 14240 - 0[/tex]

[tex]Altitude = 14240[/tex]

Hence, the integer is 14240

For the Valley:

Take the sea level as 0 feet

[tex]Altitude = Sea\ Level - Lowest\ Elevation[/tex]

[tex]Altitude = 0 - 285[/tex]

[tex]Altitude = -285[/tex]

Hence, the integer is -285
