Answer:

fourth option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = (x + 1)(x + 4)(x - 7)

To find the x- intercepts let f(x) = 0, that is

(x + 1)(x + 4)(x - 7) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

x- intercepts are (- 1, 0 ), (- 4, 0 ), (7, 0 )
