Use factoring to find the zeros of the quadratic function. List the x-intercepts of the graph of the function.
-$$G ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } - 5 x$$
A) $x = - 5$
B) $x = 0 , x = - 5$
C) $x = 5$
D) $x = 0 , x = 5$

To find the zeros of the function $G(x) = x^2 - 5x$, factor out an $x$ to get $x(x - 5) = 0$. Setting each factor equal to zero gives the solutions $x = 0$ and $x = 5$, which are the x-intercepts of the graph.
