The first question asks us to find the y-intercept of the function $g(x) = (x-4)(5x+2)$. The second question asks us to find the x-intercepts of the same function $g(x) = (x-4)(5x+2)$.

1. Problem Description

The first question asks us to find the y-intercept of the function g(x)=(x4)(5x+2)g(x) = (x-4)(5x+2). The second question asks us to find the x-intercepts of the same function g(x)=(x4)(5x+2)g(x) = (x-4)(5x+2).

2. Solution Steps

For Question 1:
To find the y-intercept, we need to find the value of g(x)g(x) when x=0x=0.
g(0)=(04)(5(0)+2)=(4)(2)=8g(0) = (0-4)(5(0)+2) = (-4)(2) = -8.
Therefore, the y-intercept is -
8.
For Question 2:
To find the x-intercepts, we need to find the values of xx such that g(x)=0g(x) = 0. This means we need to solve the equation (x4)(5x+2)=0(x-4)(5x+2) = 0.
The product of two factors is zero if and only if at least one of the factors is zero. Therefore, either x4=0x-4=0 or 5x+2=05x+2=0.
If x4=0x-4=0, then x=4x=4. So, (4,0)(4,0) is an x-intercept.
If 5x+2=05x+2=0, then 5x=25x = -2, so x=25x = -\frac{2}{5}. So, (25,0)(-\frac{2}{5}, 0) is an x-intercept.
Thus, the x-intercepts are (4,0)(4,0) and (25,0)(-\frac{2}{5}, 0).

3. Final Answer

Question 1: -8
Question 2: (4,0) and (-2/5, 0)
