Fill in the Blank

A financial analyst uses the rational function R(x)=4x216x8x216x64R(x) = \frac{4x^2 - 16x}{8x^2 - 16x - 64} to model the risk-to-reward ratio of an investment over time xx (in months). The model becomes undefined when the denominator is zero. When determining the domain of this function, solving the equation 8x216x64=0{}8x^2 - 16x - 64 = 0 results in two excluded values. The positive value that must be excluded from the domain is ____.
