Transcript text: Perform the indicated operation and express the result as a simplified complex number. 9. If $y=x^{3}-2$, evaluate $y$ given $x=1$.

Solution

Solution Steps

To solve this problem, we need to substitute the given value of $ x $ into the function $ y = x^3 - 2 $ and then simplify the expression to find $ y $.

Step 1: Substitute the Value of $ x $

We start with the function $ y = x^3 - 2 $. Given $ x = 1 $, we substitute this value into the equation: \[ y = 1^3 - 2 \]

Step 2: Calculate $ y $

Now we perform the calculation: \[ y = 1 - 2 = -1 \]

Final Answer

The value of $ y $ when $ x = 1 $ is $\boxed{y = -1}$.
