Analyzing Material Waste Variance

A manufacturing supervisor models the material waste variance on an assembly line using the function f(x)=x2−8x+3f(x) = x^2 - 8x + 3, where xx represents the batch number. To investigate when the variance drops to exactly -4 units, the supervisor must find the points on the graph where f(x)=−4f(x) = -4. Recall the algebraic procedure for solving this type of equation. Describe the sequence of steps required to solve the equation −4=x2−8x+3{}-4 = x^2 - 8x + 3 and state the final two coordinate points that lie on the graph of the function.
