Answer:


x=4-√(2) or
x=4+√(2)

Explanation:

Plug in given values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula and solve for x:


x=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^(2)-4ac } }{2a}


x=\frac{-8±\sqrt{8^(2)-4(-1)(-14) } }{2(-1)}


x=(-8±√(64-56 ) )/(-2)


x=(-8±√(8) )/(-2)


x=(-8±2√(2) )/(-2)


x=4±-√(2)

Therefore, the roots are
x=4-√(2) or
x=4+√(2)

Answer:

Were you looking for the x and y intercepts? The question is very misleading.

If you were the x intercepts are (4-√2,0), (4+√2,0)

And the y intercept is (0,−14)

If you did not mean this in your question please specify what you meant.
