Q. Determine the value of y, if x is −8 .y=∣x∣−6Answer:
Substitute x in function: Substitute the value of x into the function.We are given the function y=∣x∣−6 and the value of x is −8. We need to substitute −8 for x in the function.y=∣−8∣−6
Evaluate absolute value: Evaluate the absolute value of x. The absolute value of −8 is 8 because absolute value measures the distance a number is from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. y=8−6
Perform subtraction: Perform the subtraction.Now we subtract 6 from 8 to find the value of y.y=2
