We have to calculate the zeros of the function with the quadratic formula.

[tex]f(x)=x^2-8x+2[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-(-8)}{2\cdot1}\pm\frac{\sqrt[]{(-8)^2-4\cdot1\cdot2}}{2\cdot1}=\frac{8}{2}\pm\frac{\sqrt[]{64-8}}{2}=4\pm\frac{\sqrt[]{56}}{2}=4\pm\sqrt[]{\frac{56}{4}}=4\pm\sqrt[]{14} \\ \\ x_1=4+\sqrt[]{14}\approx4+3.742=7.742 \\ x_2=4-\sqrt[]{14}\approx4-3.742=0.258 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The roots are x1=7.742 and x2=0.258, both reals., both
