Step-by-step solution

To solve the exercise, first note that point C lies on the X-axis.

Therefore, to find it, we need to understand what is the X value when Y equals 0.

Let's set the equation equal to 0:

0=x²-8x+16

We'll use the preferred method (trinomial or quadratic formula) to find the X values, and we'll discover that

X=4
