Mr. Walker gave his class the function f(x) = (x + 3)(x + 5). Four students made a claim about the function. Each student’s claim is below.
Jeremiah: The y-intercept is at (15, 0).
Lindsay: The x-intercepts are at (–3, 0) and (5, 0).
Stephen: The vertex is at (–4, –1).
Alexis: The midpoint between the x-intercepts is at (4, 0).
Which student’s claim about the function is correct?
