We square the residuals when using the least-squares line method to find the line of best fit because we believe that huge negative residuals (i.e., points well below the line) are just as harmful as large positive residuals (i.e., points that are high above the line).
<h3>What do you mean by Residuals?</h3>
We treat both positive and negative disparities equally by squaring the residual values. We cannot discover a single straight line that concurrently minimizes all residuals. The average (squared) residual value is instead minimized.
We might also take the absolute values of the residuals rather than squaring them. Positive disparities are viewed as just as harmful as negative ones under both strategies.

So there are many factors to this, but lets assume the basics:
-He made equal payments every month for 36 months
assuming that is true, the answer is $2,975.42
Assuming that is NOT true and he made NO monthly payments at all and at the end paid the entire balance, the interest would be $6,250.50
Answer:
This graph is NOT a function.
Step-by-step explanation:
A graph is a function only if there is exactly one y-value for every x-value. In this case, there are many x-values that have two y-values, making this graph not a function.
Let me know if this helps!
Answer:
114 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent, so
AB = CD , that is
13x - 7 = 5x + 9 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
8x - 7 = 9 ( add 7 to both sides )
8x = 16 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 2
Then
5x + 9 = 5(2) + 9 = 10 + 9 = 19
3x = 3(2) = 6
The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as
A = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height ), thus
A = 19 × 6 = 114 units²
