X intercept: (-4,0)
y intercept: (0,1/2)
x-intercept is when y = 0
-x+8(0)=4
-x+0=4
x=-4
y-intercept is when x = 0
-(0)+8y=4
8y=4
y=4/8=1/2
Set the function to equal zero:

To find the zeros, or solutions, to this problem, we will use the quadratic formula:

Plug the values into the equation:




Solve for both plus and minus:



The question cannot use a negative value for x, as the diver cannot dive a negative distance from the board.
