• (-3,0) and (6,0)

• (-1.5,0) and (2,0)

• (-3,0) and (3,0)

• (-.5,0) and (6,0)

Answer explanation

The quadratic equation can be factored as (x-3)(x-3) = 0, which simplifies to (x-3)^2 = 0. Therefore, x = 3 is the only solution.

What are the x- intercepts?

• x= 0 and x= -4

• x= 0 and x= 4

• y= 0

• x= 2
