Answer:
The answer to your question is 2 rational solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation
y = x² - 8x + 2
Solve using the general formula
x = [8 ± √(-8)² - 4(1)(2)] / 2(1)
Simplification
x = [8 ± √64 - 8] / 2
x = [8 ± √56] / 2
x = [8 ± 2√14]2
x₁ = 4 + √14 x₂ = 4 - √14
As √14 is positive, we conclude that the equation has two rational solutions.
