The discriminant can be found using the formula b^2-4ac
First put your equation in standard form, where all your values are on one side, and just add f(x) or y in front of your equation.
y= 8p^2-8p+2
The first value of your equation is a (a=8)
The second term of your equation is b (b=-8)
The last term of your equation is c (c=2)
Plug in the values to the discriminant equation b^2-4ac

I'm going to take a guess at this and say what you meant is 2401 = 7^(6 - 2x)
Step One
Find out the power of 7 that will equal 2401.
You could do it like this.
7^y = 2401 and just guess at some values.
y 7^y
1 7
2 49
3 7 * 7 * 7 = 343
4 7 * 7 * 7 * 7 = 2401 So the answer is 4
7^4 = 2401
Step 2
Equate the powers.
2401 = 7^(6 - 2x)
7^4 = 7^ (6 - 2x)
4 = 6 - 2x Subtract 6 from both sides.
4 - 6 = - 2x
-2 = - 2x divide by - 2
-2/-2 = x
x = 1 <<<<<<<<<<<<<answer
So, I'm assuming that the x represents multiplication...
Because multiplication has a higher precedence over addition, we'll multiply the numbers first:
18 + 48
Then we simply add:
66
A good deal on the mortgage I suppose. A bit expensive, but if you have the money go for it.
