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.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, one is asked to multiply a fraction by a whole number, first model the question.

In a situation like this, one multiplies the whole number by the numerator (number) over the fraction.

Simplify,

A common error that people make is that they will multiply both the numerator and denominator by the whole number, this is the same as multiplying the answer by (1), thus it is incorrect.
