Q. Determine the value of y, if x is 1.y=∣x∣−6Answer:
Substitute x into function: Substitute the given value of x into the function.We are given x=1, so we substitute this value into the function y=∣x∣−6.y=∣1∣−6
Calculate absolute value: Calculate the absolute value of x. The absolute value of 1 is 1, since it is already a positive number. y=1−6
Perform subtraction: Perform the subtraction to find the value of y.Now we subtract 6 from 1 to get the value of y.y=1−6y=−5
