Explain the role of the GCF in factoring a polynomial.

1 answer:

5 0

1. GCF is a factor that is shared by all terms within a polynomial for example, if we have a polynomial of the form A*B + A*C, the GCF is A since both terms have A as a factor 2. after we factor out the GCF, it is placed outside the parentheses, in front of the rest of the polynomial. using our previous example, A*B+A*C = A(B+C) 3. we can verify that our factoring is correct by distributing the GCF to the polynomial within the parentheses

Which of the following statements about the Lasso are true with respect to the OLS estimates?

mash [69]

Answer:

B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

B - The purpose of LASSO is to shrink parameter estimates towards zero, lasso shrinkage causes the estimates of the non-zero coefficients to be biased towards zero.

C- Lasso shrinks more accurately than the ridge. In the case of multiple coefficients Lasso selects only some some features and reduces the coefficients of the others to zero. This is called feature selection and it's not a possible in the ridge.
