Q. Determine the value of y, if x is −11 .y=∣x∣+12Answer:
Identify Absolute Value: Identify the absolute value operation in the equation.The equation y=∣x∣+12 contains an absolute value operation, which means we take the non-negative value of x, regardless of its actual sign.
Substitute Value of x: Substitute the value of x into the equation.Since x is −11, we substitute −11 for x in the equation to get y=∣−11∣+12.
Calculate Absolute Value: Calculate the absolute value of x. The absolute value of −11 is 11, so the equation becomes y=11+12.
Add to Find y: Add 11 and 12 to find the value of y.Adding 11 and 12 gives us y=23.
