Q. Determine the value of y, if x is −9 .y=x2−12Answer:
Substitute x into equation: Substitute the value of x into the equation.We are given the equation y=x2−12 and told that x is −9. We substitute −9 for x in the equation to find y.Calculation: y=(−9)2−12
Calculate square of −9: Calculate the square of −9. The square of −9 is 81 because (−9)×(−9)=81. Calculation: y=81−12
Subtract 12 from 81: Subtract 12 from 81. We perform the subtraction to find the value of y. Calculation: y=81−12=69
