We can use gradient descent as a best solution, when the parameters cannot be calculated analytically.

We can use gradient descent as a best solution, when the parameters cannot be calculated analytically. Correct Answer True

Gradient descent is best used when the parameters cannot be calculated using linear algebra (analytically). So, in order to solve a system of nonlinear equations numerically, we have to reformulate it as an optimization problem. And it must be searched by an optimization algorithm like gradient descent.

If $$I$$ is the exact value of the integral obtained analytically and J is the approximate value obtained using the trapezoidal rule, which of the following statements is correct about their relationship?
A chemical solution appears green when the salt concentration is 8 grams per litre (gpl) and red when it is 10 gpl. Pure water was added to the solution of 1 litre of 15 gpl solution till it turned green. Then 125 ml of the green solution is taken out and x grams of salt is added to the green solution to make it red. Another 500 ml of the final solution was taken out and y litres of green solution is added to get a resultant solution of concentration 9.6 gpl.  Assume adding salt doesn’t change its volume and find the ratio of x and y.
