Quadratic Functions: Factored Form

Question 83356 • Algebra III A

Which point is an x-intercept of the quadratic function f(x) = (x – 4)(x + 2)?

Answer
A
(–4, 0)
B
(–2, 0)
C
(0, 2)
D
(4, –2)

Explanation

An x-intercept occurs where f(x) = 0. Set (x − 4)(x + 2) = 0; this gives x = 4 or x = −2, so the intercepts are (4, 0) and (−2, 0). Choice B, (−2, 0), is an x-intercept.
