Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Residuals are the measure of the error in the fit. The square of their sum gives no weight to the sign of the error, but gives greater weight to larger errors. The fit will be better when the error is <em>smaller</em>. In this scenario, Line B is a better fit.
The statement that Line A better fits the data is FALSE.
Short Answer B
Argument
A
A will give you x = +/- 5i
x^2 + 25 = 0
x^2 = - 25 Take the square root.
sqrt(x^2) = +/- sqrt(-25)
x = +/- (5)i which is a complex number.
B
Is the answer
x^2 = 25
sqrt(x)^2 = sqrt(25)
x = +/- 5
C
Can't be factored just by looking at it. You can show that C is not true just by putting 5 into the equation
f(x) = x^2 + 10x - 25
f(5) = 25 + 10*5 - 25
f(5) = 50
C is not true.
D
D can be eliminated as C was
f(x) = x^2 - 5x - 25
f(5) = -25 ( l'll let you show this is not true). 5 is not a solution because it does not make f(x) = 0
