Answer:

The midpoint of the x-intercepts of the function is (0, 0)

Explanation:

Notice that since the function comes in factor form, we know that its roots (which are actually the intercepts the function has with the x-axis) are: x = 4 and x = -4 (the x-values for which the function renders zero).

These two points are equidistant from the origin of coordinates (0, 0), and therefore the midpoint of these x-intercepts is (0, 0).
