Suppose that the​ x-intercepts of the graph of are and .
What are the​ x-intercepts of the graph of ?
first note that and are roots:


so, use the Zero Product rule to find equation


=> x-intercepts of this function are and
see the graph:


then,


...factor
=> if and

see the graph:


Answer : the x - intercepts of the graph are and .

Suppose that the​ x-intercepts of the graph of y= f(x) are 3 and 5.
What are the​ x-intercepts of the graph of y= f(x+8)?
From f(x) to f(x + 8), the ENTIRE parabola will be SHIFTED 8 units to the LEFT, so roots (3 and 5), or x-intercepts (3, 0) and (5, 0) are SHIFTED HORIZONTALLY,
8 units to the left thus making the new roots, (3 - 8), or - 5, and (5 - 8), or - 3. The points can also be written as: (- 5, 0) and (- 3, 0).
