Q. Determine the value of y, if x is 9.y=∣x∣−1Answer:
Substitute x into equation: Substitute the value of x into the equation.We are given the equation y=∣x∣−1 and we need to find the value of y when x is 9.Substitute x=9 into the equation:y=∣9∣−1
Calculate absolute value of x: Calculate the absolute value of x.The absolute value of 9 is 9, since 9 is already a positive number.y=9−1
Subtract 1 from absolute value: Subtract 1 from the absolute value of x. Now we subtract 1 from 9 to find the value of y. y=9−1y=8
