When [tex]$x=4$[/tex], what is the residual?

A. [tex]$-3$[/tex]

B. [tex]$-1$[/tex]

C. 1

D. 3


Sagot :

Sure, let's solve the problem step-by-step to find the residual when [tex]\( x = 4 \)[/tex].

Residual is calculated by subtracting the predicted value from the given value:

[tex]\[ \text{Residual} = \text{Given} - \text{Predicted} \][/tex]

For [tex]\( x = 4 \)[/tex]:
- Given value: [tex]\( 9 \)[/tex]
- Predicted value: [tex]\( 10 \)[/tex]

So, we substitute these values into the formula:

[tex]\[ \text{Residual} = 9 - 10 = -1 \][/tex]

Thus, the residual when [tex]\( x = 4 \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ -1 \][/tex]

So, the correct answer is:

[tex]\[ \boxed{-1} \][/tex]
