Question

If the quadratic model applies the function f(x) = -0.11688x² + 2.5355x + 7.0238, what is the predicted value and residual when the tree is 7 years old with a height of 19?

Answer 1

predicted value = 19.04518

Residual = -0.04518

Explanation:

Residual = y - predicted y

In this case y = 19 for a 7 year old tree.

f(7) = 19.04518

Residual = 19 - 19.04518

Residual = -0.04518
