The function f(x) = −(x + 5)(x + 1) is shown.

Mary throws a plastic disc to her friend. Her friend catches the disc six seconds after Mary throws it. The table shows the height of the disc at one-second intervals.

What are the x-intercepts of the function f(x) = –x2 – x + 2?
On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens down. It has an x-intercept at (negative 5, 0), a vertex at (negative 1, 16), a y-intercept at (0, 15), and an x-intercept at (3, 0).

A 2-column table with 5 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries negative 2, negative 1, 0, 1, 2. The second column is labeled f of x with entries 3, negative 2, negative 3, 0, 7.
