Given in the question:

a.) Function f gives the vertical distance of each town from sea level.

This means that f is directly equivalent to the elevation e.

Let's complete the table.

e 180 12.1 5.4 0 -5.4 -36 -180

f(e) 180 12.1 5.4 0 -5.4 -36 -180

Negative elevation means the towns are below sea level.
