Answer:

Option A. (4,0) and (-1,0)

Explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola in factored form is equal to

where

a is a coefficient

x_1 and x_2 are the zeros or x-intercepts of the function

In this problem we have

we have

The leading coefficient is negative, that means the parabola open downward

The zeros of the function are

Remember that the x-intercepts are the values of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

therefore

The x-intercepts are (4,0) and (-1,0)
