The image of a parabolic lens is traced onto a graph. The function f(x) = (x + 8)(x – 4) represents the image. At which points does the image cross the x-axis?

(–8, 0) and (4, 0)
(8, 0) and (–4, 0)
(2, 0) and (–1, 0)
(–2, 0) and (1, 0)

equal to

step-by-step explanation:

from the figure we get,

the x axis shows   the months and,

the y-axis shows the number of satisfied customer.

each line or each cell in upward direction (y-axis) shows 500.

the appropriate scale for the y - axis is: -

a = 2000 customers

b = 4000 customers

c = 6000 customers

d = 8000 customers

e = 10000 customers

f = 12000 customers

g = 14000 customers
