Gradient Descent

The purpose of the gradient descent is to minimize the function. The more mathematical term is called the method of least squares. y &#x0003D; x 2 Why is the gradient descent specifically y &#x0003D; x 2 because the original formula for a line is y &#x0003D; m x &#x0002B; b but that does not have a bottom since a line is continuous and infinite, meaning there is no end. Whereas, the parabola is…
