Part A
The function f(x) = −4x2 + 18x + 16 models the predicted sales of a hat after x price increases. Use the table showing actual and predicted sales to find the residuals for the model. Part B
Function g also models the predicted sales of the hat in Part A. For function g, the average distance of the residuals from the line y = 0 is 1.3. Is f or g a better model for the data?
