\n" );
document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "f(x)=x^3+2x^2-8x
\n" );
document.write( "f(x)= x(x^2 +2x -8)
\n" );
document.write( "f(x)= x(x -2)(x +4) 
\n" );
document.write( "x intercepts are the value of x where f(x) = 0
\n" );
document.write( "x(x -2)(x +4)= 0
\n" );
document.write( "x = 0
\n" );
document.write( "x = 2
\n" );
document.write( "x =-4
\n" );
document.write( "Answer B would be the correct choice\r
