Q. Determine the value of y, if x is 7.y=∣x∣−10Answer:
Substitute x into function: Substitute the value of x into the function.We are given the function y=∣x∣−10 and we need to find the value of y when x is 7.Substitute x=7 into the function:y=∣7∣−10
Calculate absolute value: Calculate the absolute value of x. The absolute value of 7 is 7, because 7 is already a positive number. y=7−10
Perform subtraction: Perform the subtraction to find the value of y.Now we subtract 10 from 7 to get the value of y:y=7−10y=−3
