Gradient descent is used to fit a line to the four points
The loss is the mean squared error
and the parameters are updated with
Training starts at and with learning rate . Both parameters are updated simultaneously, each gradient computed from the predictions at the starting values.
Exactly one step is taken. What is the value of the loss at the new parameters?
Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
Once you get it right, the reasoning behind the answer shows up here.
The slope tells you which way is uphill, so you subtract it to head downhill. Near the edge the ground is steep and the steps are long. As the ground flattens the slope shrinks, so the steps shrink with it, and the walk eases into the bottom instead of shooting past it.
