f(x) and g(x) have the same x-intercepts (is <em>not true</em>)
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) is a reflection across the y-axis and a horizontal compression of f(x). In general those transformations will move the x-intercepts. (The y-intercept and the number of x-intercepts will remain unchanged.)

<em>Comment on the question/answer</em>
f(x) = x^3 is a 3rd degree polynomial. When transformed to g(x) = -8x^2, its only x-intercept (x=0) remains the same. The answer above will not apply in any instance where the only x-intercept is on the line of reflection. (The question is flawed in that it does not make any exception for such functions.)
The product of two positive integers is always POSITIVE . The product of two negative integers is always POSITIVE. The product of a positive integer and a negative integer is always NEGATIVE . The product of any integer and –1 is always THE OPPOSITE OF THAT INTEGER .
