The x-intercepts are the points on the plot of a function f(x) where the graph crosses the x-axis. In other words, they're the values of x that make f(x) = 0.

In this case, the x-intercepts are the two roots of the parabola,

(x - 4) (x - 5) = 0 … … … (this is what the hint is referring to)

==> x - 4 = 0 or x - 5 = 0

==> x = 4 or x = 5

The intercepts themselves are points (x, f(x)), so you can report them as (4, 0) and (5, 0).
