Q. Determine the value of y, if x is 1.y=∣x−9∣Answer:
Substitute x into expression: Substitute the given value of x into the expression.We are given x=1, so we substitute 1 for x in y=∣x−9∣.y=∣1−9∣
Simplify inside absolute value: Simplify the expression inside the absolute value. y=∣1−9∣y=∣−8∣
Determine absolute value: Determine the absolute value of −8.The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction.y=∣−8∣y=8
