Jamal uses factoring to find the zeros of the equation x2+4x−32=y. He concludes that the graph intersects the x-axis at x=−4 and x=8. Which statement BEST explains whether Jamal is correct or incorrect?

A
Jamal is correct because x2+4x−32 is equivalent to (x+4)(x−8).

B
Jamal is correct because x2+4x−32 is equivalent to (x−4)(x+8).

C
Jamal is incorrect because x2+4x−32 is equivalent to (x−4)(x+8).

D
Jamal is incorrect because x2+4x−32 is equivalent to (x+4)(x−8).
