Determine the points of intersection of the function
With the X
To solve for the x-intercepts of the function , we set to zero and solve the equation .
Step 1: Identify that the equation is already factored. Set each factor equal to zero:
Step 2: Solve for in each case:
For , the solution is .
For , add 1 to both sides to get , then multiply by -1 to find .
Thus, the points of intersection with the x-axis are at and .
Final Coordinates: Because these are x-intercepts, for both points, the y-coordinate is 0. Therefore, the points of intersection are and .
The correct choice from the given options is .
