Given the inequality:
$$\left(x^{2} - 8 x\right) + 9 < 0$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$\left(x^{2} - 8 x\right) + 9 = 0$$
Solve:
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -8$$
$$c = 9$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(-8)^2 - 4 * (1) * (9) = 28
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or
$$x_{1} = \sqrt{7} + 4$$
$$x_{2} = 4 - \sqrt{7}$$
$$x_{1} = \sqrt{7} + 4$$
$$x_{2} = 4 - \sqrt{7}$$
$$x_{1} = \sqrt{7} + 4$$
$$x_{2} = 4 - \sqrt{7}$$
This roots
$$x_{2} = 4 - \sqrt{7}$$
$$x_{1} = \sqrt{7} + 4$$
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
$$x_{0} < x_{2}$$
For example, let's take the point
$$x_{0} = x_{2} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{1}{10} + \left(4 - \sqrt{7}\right)$$
=
$$\frac{39}{10} - \sqrt{7}$$
substitute to the expression
$$\left(x^{2} - 8 x\right) + 9 < 0$$
$$\left(- 8 \left(\frac{39}{10} - \sqrt{7}\right) + \left(\frac{39}{10} - \sqrt{7}\right)^{2}\right) + 9 < 0$$

Then

one of the solutions of our inequality is:
$$x > 4 - \sqrt{7} \wedge x < \sqrt{7} + 4$$
