Answer:

The x-intercepts are
x=-6 and
x=4

In terms of coordinates, the x-intercepts are (-6,0) and (4,0)

Explanation:

The given quadratic function is:


f(x)=(x-4)(x+6)---(1)

To find its x-intercepts, substitute
f(x)=0 into (1) as follows:


0=(x-4)(x+6)

Then, by the zero-product property, it follows:


x-4=0= > x=4


x+6=0= > x=-6

So, the x-intercepts are
x=-6 and
x=4.

In terms of coordinates, the x-intercepts are
(-6,0) and
(4,0)
