Answer:

4 and -1

Explanation:

A quadratic function is given to us and we need to find the x Intercepts of the given function . The function is ,


\bf \implies g(x) = -2( x -4)(x+1)

Step 1 : Equate the function with 0,


\bf \implies -2( x -4)(x+1) = 0

Step 2: Equating with 0 :-

Now equate each factors seperately with 0 , to get the x Intercepts.

Step 3: Finding the intercepts :-


\bf \implies x - 4 = 0 \\\\\implies\boxed{\bf\blue{ x = 4 }}

Again ,


\bf \implies x + 1 = 0 \\\\\implies\boxed{ \blue{\bf x = -1}}

Hence the x intercepts are 4 and -1 .
