The x-intercepts are x=−2 and x=4.

The y-intercept is y=−8.

To find the x-intercepts, set

y to 0 and solve for x:

(x+2)(x−4)=0

This equation will be true if either

x+2=0 or x−4=0.

x+2=0:

x=−2

x−4=0:

x=4

So, the x-intercepts are x=−2 and x=4.

To find the y-intercept, set x to 0 and solve for y:

y=(0+2)(0−4)=2×(−4)=−8

So, the y-intercept is y=−8.
