A) $( 5,0 )$
B) $( - 4,0 ) , ( 3,0 )$
C) $( - 3,0 ) , ( 4,0 )$
D) none

To find the x-intercepts of the function, we set $f(x) = 0$ and solve for $x$. However, since $f(x)$ is in the form of a fraction, $f(x) = 0$ when the numerator is 0, which never happens in this case because the numerator is a constant 5. Therefore, there are no x-intercepts.
