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.

A scientific theory is a validated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on multiple facts that have been frequently verified through research and experimentation. Fact theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world.
Let the integers be x-2, x, x+2.
Given,
x -2 + x + x + 2 = 69
3x = 69
x = 23
Hence, the integers are 21, 23 and 25.
Answer: It’s...
Step-by-step explanation: All of these numbers are going backwards by -4. Just keep subtracting. But then again, it will take you ages. So... try multiplying 51 by -4. Then -86 - whatever total you got. I have no clue if this will help. Is this even an assignment for you or a trick question?
