Q. Determine the value of y, if x is −2 .y=x2−5Answer:
Substitute x in equation: Substitute the value of x into the equation.We are given x=−2 and the equation y=x2−5. We need to substitute −2 for x in the equation.Calculation: y=(−2)2−5
Calculate square of −2: Calculate the square of −2. The square of −2 is (−2)×(−2)=4. Calculation: y=4−5
Subtract 5 from result: Subtract 5 from the result of the square of −2. Now we subtract 5 from 4 to find the value of y. Calculation: y=4−5=−1
