Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Flopsy's age be represented by x.

Therefore, since Peter is one year older than four times Flopsy's age. Peter's age will be:

= (4 × x) + 1

= 4x + 1

We are further told that the sum of their ages is 19. This will be:

x + 4x + 1 = 19

5x + 1 = 19

5x = 19 - 1

5x = 18

x = 18/5

x = 3.6 years

Flopsy's age = 3.6 years

y = 4x + 1

= 4(3.6) + 1

= 14.4 + 1

= 15.4 years

Peter's age = 15.4 years

Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description.16x2 + 8x + 1 = 0double rootreal a

Hello!

The discriminant of quadratic functions is: b² - 4ac. Since the equation is in standard form, which is Ax² + Bx + C = 0 , we can substitute those values into our discriminant and simplify.

The value of the discriminant will tell us how many solutions there are to the given quadratic equation.

A positive discriminant will have two real solutions.

A discriminant of zero will have one real solution.

A negative discriminant will no real solutions.

1. Substitute, a = 16, b = 8, c = 1.

8² - 4(16)(1)

64 - 4(16)(1)

64 - 64(1)

64 - 64

0

Since the discriminant is zero, the answer is choice A, double root, because since it is raised to the power of 2, it must has two roots, but in this case, both of the roots the same x-values.
