Answer:

(-4,0) and (4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts occur for values of x where f(x) = 0.

f(x) = 0 when the nominator ([tex]x^{2} - 16[/tex]) = 0.

[tex]x^{2} -16[/tex] is a difference of squares,
so you can factor it as (x + 4)(x – 4)

When x = –4 or x = 4, the nominator is 0, and f(x) = 0
