The x-intercepts of any function f(x) occur when f(x)=0.

As a reminder, f(x) corresponds to the y coordinate for any given x.

So, we need to focus on the parts of the table where f(x)=0 and look at the x value, that will give us the coordinates of the x-intercepts.

We can see the first entry in the table has f(x)=0 and x= -4.

The only other entry in the table where f(x)=0 has x=4.

As such, the x-intercepts of the given function are (-4,0) and (4,0), which are the coordinates presented in the third option.
