Classify the following data. Indicate whether the data is qualitative or quantitative, indicate whether the data is discrete, co

Answer:

Quantitative.
Discrete.
Interval Scale.

Step-by-step explanation:

The IQ scores are measured numerically. This makes it quantitative data. Quantitative data provide numerical measures which can be used to perform arithmetric operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Results from these kind of data can be used to provide meaningful and explanatory results to certain phenomena.
IQ scores are discrete because they are always expressed as integers. that is in whole numbers and not in fractions e.g 100, 120, 60.
The level of measurement is on an interval scale because the difference between values have meanings. Larger values mean higher IQ. for example, the difference in IQ numbers between two people for represents something real.

7. Use the quadratic formula to find the solution(s). x² + 2x - 8 = 0

Hey there!

Use the quadratic formula to find the solution(s). x² + 2x - 8 = 0

Answer :

x = -4 or x = 2 ✅

Explanation :

Quadratic formula : ax² + bx + c = 0 where a ≠ 0

The number of real-number solutions (roots) is determined by the discriminant (b² - 4ac) :

If b² - 4ac > 0 , There are 2 real-number solutions

If b² - 4ac = 0 , There is 1 real-number solution.

If b² - 4ac < 0 , There is no real-number solution.

The roots of the equation are determined by the following calculation:

$x = \frac{ - b \pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

Here, we have :

a = 1
b = 2
c = -8

1) Calculate the discriminant :

b² - 4ac ⇔ 2² - 4(1)(-8) ⇔ 4 - (-32) ⇔ 36

b² - 4ac = 36 > 0 ; The equation admits two real-number solutions

2) Calculate the roots of the equation:

▪️ (1)

$x_1 = \frac{ - b - \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} \\ \\ x_1 = \frac{ - 2 - \sqrt{36} }{2(1) } \\ \\ x_1 = \frac{ - 2 - 6}{2} \\ \\ x_1 = \frac{ - 8}{2} \\ \\ \blue{\boxed{\red{x_1 = -4}}}$

▪️ (2)

$x_2 = \frac{ - b + \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} \\ \\ x_2 = \frac{ - 2 + \sqrt{36} }{2(1)} \\ \\ x_2 = \frac{ - 2 + 6}{2} \\ \\ x_2 = \frac{4}{2} \\ \\ \red{\boxed{\blue{x_2 = 2}}}$
