Answer:
He did not control for lurking variables and their impacts on the results of his experiment. Amount of sunlight and water received are two outside variables(or confounding variables) that may impact the growth of his plants and influence the results. He needs to apply the same amount of sunlight and water to each plant within a different planting soil in order to rule out the influence of those two variables and test the sole effect of the soil brand on the plant growth. Otherwise, it would be hard to determine whether his plant growth was because of the soil brand or the different amounts of sunlight and water received
Rewrite the equation:
-2x^2 - 3x + 8 = 0
2x^2 + 3x -8 =0
Where a=2, b=3 and c=-8
Then b^2 - 4ac = 3^2 - 4(2)(-8) = 9 + 64 = 73
A positive discriminant implies that the equation has two different real solutions.
Answer: the discriminant is 73, so the equation has 2 real solution
