Chapter 15.7, Problem 74E
Least squares approximation In its many guises, the least squares approximation arises in numerous areas of mathematics and statistics. Suppose you collect data for two variables (for example, height and shoe Size) in the form of pairs (x1, y1), (x2, y2), …, (xn, yn). The data may be plotted as a
70. Let the equation of the best-fit line be y = mx + b, where the slope m and the y-intercept b must be determined using the least squares condition. First assume that there are three data points (1, 2), (3, 5), and (4, 6). Show that the function of m and b that gives the sum of the squares of the vertical distances between the line and the three data points is
E(m, b) = ((m + b) – 2)2 + ((3m + b) – 5)2 + ((4m + b) – 6)2.
Find the critical points of E and find the values of m and b that minimize E. Graph the three data points and the best-fit line.

Rylee's car is stuck in the mud. Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach
one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck
starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a
horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate
a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The
angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude
and its direction angle from the positive x-axis.
