<u>ANSWER: </u>
x-intercepts of 
<u>SOLUTION:</u>
Given,
-- eqn 1
x-intercepts of the function are the points where function touches the x-axis, which means they are zeroes of the function.
Now, let us find the zeroes using quadratic formula for f(x) = 0.

Here, for (1) a = 1, b= 12 and c = 24


Hence the x-intercepts of
