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 believe that through deductive reasoning angle O is 64 degrees. The reason is it's bigger than angle R so that rules out 32 and 16 degrees, but it's not obtuse, so that rules out 128 degrees, thereby leaving you with 64. Hope this helps :)
