Q. Determine the value of y, if x is 9.y=∣x∣−6Answer:
Substitute x into function: Substitute the value of x into the function.We are given the function y=∣x∣−6 and the value of x as 9. We need to substitute x=9 into the function to find the value of y.y=∣9∣−6
Calculate absolute value: Calculate the absolute value of x. The absolute value of 9 is 9, since 9 is already a positive number. y=9−6
Subtract 6 from x: Subtract 6 from the absolute value of x. Now we subtract 6 from 9 to find the value of y. y=9−6y=3
