Answer

$\bf{Graph (d)}$

Work Step by Step

We have $2(x+2)^2+5(x+2)-3=0$ This implies $[2(x+2)-1][(x+2)+3]=0$ Now, $2(x+2)-1=0$ or, $x=\dfrac{-3}{2}$ and $(x+2)+3=0$ or, $x=-5$ To find the $x$-intercepts, we will have to take $f(x)=0$ Therefore, Our desired $x$-intercepts are: {$-5,\dfrac{-3}{2}$}; which represents the $\bf{Graph (d)}$
