Q. Determine the value of y, if x is 2.y=∣x∣−12Answer:
Substitute x into expression: Substitute the given value of x into the expression.We are given x=2. Let's substitute this value into the expression for y.y=∣x∣−12y=∣2∣−12
Evaluate absolute value: Evaluate the absolute value of x. The absolute value of a positive number is the number itself. ∣2∣=2 Now we can update the expression for y. y=2−12
Perform subtraction: Perform the subtraction to find the value of y.Subtract 12 from 2.y=2−12y=−10
