Solution

The x-intercepts of the function r(x) = (x + 1)(x - 3)(x + 3)(x - 5) are the values of x for which r(x) = 0.

To find these, we set each factor of the function equal to zero and solve for x:

  1. x + 1 = 0, which gives x = -1
  2. x - 3 = 0, which gives x = 3
  3. x + 3 = 0, which gives x = -3
  4. x - 5 = 0, which gives x = 5

So, the x-intercepts of the function are -3, -1, 3, and 5. The smallest value among these is -3.
