Q. Determine the value of y, if x is −11 .y=∣x∣−1Answer:
Substitute x in function: Substitute the value of x into the function.We are given the function y=∣x∣−1 and the value of x is −11. We need to substitute −11 for x in the function.y=∣−11∣−1
Evaluate absolute value: Evaluate the absolute value of x. The absolute value of −11 is 11 because the absolute value of a number is the distance of that number from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. y=11−1
Perform subtraction: Perform the subtraction.Now we subtract 1 from 11 to find the value of y.y=10
