### Part 4a
# Explanation:
## Step1: Find $ g(4) $ from the graph
Looking at the graph of $ g(x) $, when $ x = 4 $, we can determine the $ y $-value (since $ g(4) $ is the $ y $-coordinate at $ x = 4 $). From the graph, the line after $ x = 0 $ has a slope. Let's analyze the graph: the vertex at $ x = 0 $ (wait, no, the graph has a V - shape on the left of $ x = 0 $ and a line on the right. Wait, actually, when $ x = 4 $, looking at the grid, the graph of $ g(x) $ at $ x = 4 $: let's see the slope. From $ x = 0 $, the graph goes down. Let's check the coordinates. At $ x = 0 $, $ g(0) $ is the peak. Then, for $ x>0 $, the graph is a line. Let's find the equation of the line for $ x\geq0 $. Wait, maybe easier: from the graph, when $ x = 0 $, $ g(0) $ is, say, let's count the grid. Wait, the graph crosses the x - axis at $ x=-5 $, has a minimum, then goes up to $ x = 0 $, then down. At $ x = 4 $, let's see: the line from $ x = 0 $ (where $ g(0) $ is, let's say $ g(0)=2 $ (wait, no, the grid: each square is 1 unit? Let's assume the graph at $ x = 0 $ is at (0, 2) (maybe), then at $ x = 5 $, it's at (5, - 3)? Wait, no, the problem is to find $ g(4) $. Alternatively, maybe from the graph, when $ x = 4 $, $ g(4)=-2 $? Wait, no, let's re - examine. Wait, the function $ g(x) $ on $ x\geq0 $: the line starts at (0, 2) (maybe) and goes down. Wait, maybe a better approach: the graph of $ g(x) $ for $ x\geq0 $ is a linear function. Let's find two points. At $ x = 0 $, let's say $ g(0)=2 $, and at $ x = 5 $, $ g(5)=-3 $? No, maybe the graph at $ x = 4 $: let's look at the slope. The slope $ m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} $. From $ x = 0 $ to $ x = 5 $, if $ g(0)=2 $ and $ g(5)=-3 $, then $ m=\frac{-3 - 2}{5 - 0}=\frac{-5}{5}=-1 $. So the equation is $ g(x)=-x + 2 $ for $ x\geq0 $. Then $ g(4)=-4 + 2=-2 $.

## Step2: Find $ h(4) $ from the table
From the table of $ h(x) $, when $ x = 4 $, $ h(4)=-13 $.

## Step3: Substitute into $ f(x)=-2g(x)+3h(x) $
We have $ f(4)=-2g(4)+3h(4) $. Substitute $ g(4)=-2 $ (wait, no, wait, maybe my $ g(4) $ was wrong. Wait, let's re - look at the graph. Wait, the graph of $ g(x) $: the right - hand side (for $ x\geq0 $): when $ x = 0 $, the point is (0, 2) (assuming), then at $ x = 2 $, it's (2, 0)? No, the graph intersects the x - axis at some point. Wait, maybe the graph of $ g(x) $ at $ x = 4 $: let's count the grid. The graph after $ x = 0 $ is a line going down. Let's see, the graph at $ x = 0 $ is at (0, 2), then at $ x = 4 $, it's at (4, - 2). Wait, maybe the correct $ g(4) $ is - 2? Wait, no, let's do it properly.

Wait, the function $ f(x)=-2g(x)+3h(x) $. We need $ g(4) $ and $ h(4) $. From the table, $ h(4)=-13 $. From the graph of $ g(x) $: let's find the equation of the line for $ x\geq0 $. The graph has a vertex at $ x = 0 $ (the peak). Let's assume that for $ x\geq0 $, the line passes through (0, 2) and (5, - 3). The slope $ m=\frac{-3 - 2}{5 - 0}=\frac{-5}{5}=-1 $. So the equation is $ y-2=-1(x - 0)$, so $ y=-x + 2 $. When $ x = 4 $, $ y=-4 + 2=-2 $. So $ g(4)=-2 $.

Now, substitute into $ f(4) $:

$ f(4)=-2\times(-2)+3\times(-13) $

$ f(4)=4-39=-35 $

# Answer:
$ f(4)=\boxed{-35} $

### Part 4b
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall the definition of x - intercepts of $ j(x)=g(x)h(x) $
The x - intercepts of $ j(x) $ occur when $ j(x)=0 $, which means $ g(x)h(x)=0 $. By the zero - product property, this happens when $ g(x)=0 $ or $ h(x)=0 $.

## Step2: Find the x - intercepts of $ g(x) $ on $[-7,7]$
From the graph of $ g(x) $, we can see that $ g(x)=0 $ when $ x=-5 $ and at another point (let's find the x - intercept for $ x\geq0 $). The graph of $ g(x) $ for $ x\geq0 $ is a line. We found the equation $ y=-x + 2 $ (from part 4a). Setting $ y = 0 $, we get $ 0=-x + 2\Rightarrow x = 2 $. Wait, no, wait the graph: when $ x\geq0 $, the line starts at (0, 2) and goes down. Wait, maybe my earlier equation was wrong. Wait, looking at the graph, the right - hand line (for $ x\geq0 $): when $ x = 0 $, the point is (0, 2), and when $ x = 2 $, is it (2, 0)? No, the graph in the picture: the right - hand line after $ x = 0 $ goes down. Let's count the x - intercepts of $ g(x) $: one at $ x=-5 $, and one at $ x = 2 $? Wait, no, the graph as shown: the left - hand side crosses the x - axis at $ x=-5 $, then has a minimum, then goes up to $ x = 0 $, then down. The right - hand side (x≥0) will cross the x - axis when $ g(x)=0 $. Let's find the x - intercept of the right - hand line. Let's assume the right - hand line has a slope. From $ x = 0 $ (where $ g(0) $ is, say, 2) to $ x = 5 $, it's at (5, - 3). Wait, no, the correct way: from the graph, the x - intercepts of $ g(x) $ on $[-7,7]$ are $ x=-5 $ and $ x = 2 $ (wait, maybe $ x = 1 $? No, let's re - examine. Wait, the graph of $ g(x) $: the left part (x < 0) is a V - shape with a root at $ x=-5 $, and the right part (x≥0) is a line with a root at $ x = 2 $? Wait, no, the problem says the graph is on $[-7,7]$. Let's find all $ x\in[-7,7] $ where $ g(x)=0 $. From the graph, $ g(x)=0 $ at $ x=-5 $ and at $ x = 2 $ (assuming the right - hand line crosses the x - axis at $ x = 2 $). Wait, maybe the correct x - intercepts of $ g(x) $ are $ x=-5 $ and $ x = 2 $? Wait, no, let's look at the table for $ h(x) $: $ h(x) $ has only one real zero, which is at $ x = 2 $ (since $ h(2)=0 $).

## Step3: Find the x - intercepts of $ h(x) $ on $[-7,7]$
From the table of $ h(x) $, $ h(x)=0 $ when $ x = 2 $ (since $ h(2)=0 $) and $ h(x) $ has only one real zero, so $ h(x)=0 $ only at $ x = 2 $.

## Step4: Find the x - intercepts of $ j(x)=g(x)h(x) $
We need to find all $ x\in[-7,7] $ where $ g(x)=0 $ or $ h(x)=0 $.

- For $ g(x)=0 $: From the graph, $ g(x)=0 $ at $ x=-5 $ and at another point (let's say $ x = 2 $? Wait, no, wait the graph: the left - hand side (x < 0) crosses the x - axis at $ x=-5 $, the right - hand side (x≥0) crosses the x - axis at $ x = 2 $? Wait, no, let's re - check the graph. The graph of $ g(x) $: when $ x=-5 $, $ g(-5)=0 $; then it goes down, up to $ x = 0 $, then down. For $ x\geq0 $, the line will cross the x - axis when $ g(x)=0 $. Let's find the equation of the line for $ x\geq0 $. Let's assume that at $ x = 0 $, $ g(0)=2 $ (from the graph's peak), and at $ x = 5 $, $ g(5)=-3 $. The slope $ m=\frac{-3 - 2}{5 - 0}=-1 $. So the equation is $ y = 2 - x $. Setting $ y = 0 $, $ 0=2 - x\Rightarrow x = 2 $. So $ g(x)=0 $ at $ x=-5 $ and $ x = 2 $.

- For $ h(x)=0 $: $ h(x)=0 $ at $ x = 2 $ (from the table, since $ h(2)=0 $ and $ h(x) $ has only one real zero).

Now, we need to find all $ x\in[-7,7] $ where $ g(x)=0 $ or $ h(x)=0 $.

- $ g(x)=0 $ at $ x=-5 $ and $ x = 2 $.

- $ h(x)=0 $ at $ x = 2 $.

But we need to check for each x:

- At $ x=-5 $: $ g(-5)=0 $, so $ j(-5)=g(-5)h(-5)=0\times h(-5)=0 $.

- At $ x = 2 $: $ g(2)=0 $ and $ h(2)=0 $, but it's still a zero (even though both are zero, it's one x - intercept? Wait, no, the x - intercept is the value of x where $ j(x)=0 $. So we need to count distinct x - values.

Wait, also, let's check the graph of $ g(x) $ again. Maybe the x - intercepts of $ g(x) $ are $ x=-5 $ and $ x = 1 $? No, let's do it step by step.

First, find all x where $ g(x)=0 $:

From the graph:

- Left part (x < 0): crosses x - axis at $ x=-5 $.

- Right part (x≥0): let's find where $ g(x)=0 $. Let's assume the right - hand line has a slope. Let's take two points on the right - hand line: (0, 2) and (5, - 3) (assuming grid units). The slope $ m=\frac{-3 - 2}{5 - 0}=-1 $. Equation: $ y=2 - x $. Set $ y = 0 $, $ x = 2 $. So $ g(x)=0 $ at $ x=-5 $ and $ x = 2 $.

Now, $ h(x)=0 $ at $ x = 2 $ (from table, $ h(2)=0 $, and only one real zero).

Now, we need to find all x in $[-7,7]$ where $ g(x)h(x)=0 $.

- When $ x=-5 $: $ g(-5)=0 $, so $ j(-5)=0 $.

- When $ x = 2 $: $ g(2)=0 $ and $ h(2)=0 $, so $ j(2)=0 $.

Wait, but maybe the graph of $ g(x) $ has another x - intercept? Wait, the graph is on $[-7,7]$. Let's check the left - hand side: the graph starts at $ x=-7 $, goes to $ x=-5 $ (crosses x - axis), then has a minimum, then goes up to $ x = 0 $. The right - hand side goes from $ x = 0 $ to $ x = 7 $.

Wait, maybe I made a mistake in the x - intercepts of $ g(x) $. Let's re - examine the graph:

The graph of $ g(x) $:

- For $ x < 0 $: it's a V - shaped graph (absolute - value - like) with a root at $ x=-5 $.

- For $ x\geq0 $: it's a linear graph. Let's find two points on the linear part. At $ x = 0 $, let's say the y - coordinate is 2 (from the graph's peak). At $ x = 5 $, let's say the y - coordinate is - 3. So the equation is $ y=2 - x $. When $ x = 2 $, $ y = 0 $, so $ g(2)=0 $.

Now, $ h(x) $ has a root at $ x = 2 $ (since $ h(2)=0 $).

Now, we need to find all x in $[-7,7]$ where $ g(x)=0 $ or $ h(x)=0 $.

- $ g(x)=0 $ at $ x=-5 $ and $ x = 2 $.

- $ h(x)=0 $ at $ x = 2 $.

But wait, is there another x - intercept for $ g(x) $? Let's check $ x=-7 $: $ g(-7) $ is not zero (since the left - hand graph crosses the x - axis at $ x=-5 $).

Now, we also need to check if there are other x - values where $ g(x)=0 $ or $ h(x)=0 $.

Wait, maybe the graph of $ g(x) $ has a root at $ x=-5 $ and another root at $ x = 1 $? No, the equation $ y = 2 - x $ gives root at $ x = 2 $.

Wait, let's count the x - intercepts:

- From $ g(x)=0 $: $ x=-5 $ and $ x = 2 $.

- From $ h(x)=0 $: $ x = 2 $.

But we also need to check the interval $[-7,7]$. Wait, maybe the graph of $ g(x) $ has a root at $ x=-5 $, and the linear part (x≥0) has a root at $ x = 2 $, and $ h(x) $ has a root at $ x = 2 $. But also, let's check the behavior of $ h(x) $. The function $ h(x) $ has only one real zero at $ x = 2 $.

Now, let's list all x in $[-7,7]$ where $ j(x)=0 $:

- $ x=-5 $: $ g(-5)=0 $, so $ j(-5)=0 $.

- $ x = 2 $: $ g(2)=0 $ and $ h(2)=0 $, so $ j(2)=0 $.

Wait, but maybe the graph of $ g(x) $ has another root? Wait, the left - hand graph: when $ x=-7 $, $ g(-7) $ is positive (since it's a V - shape with minimum below the x - axis? No, the left - hand graph crosses the x - axis at $ x=-5 $, goes down to a minimum, then up to $ x = 0 $. So $ g(x) $ is zero only at $ x=-5 $ for
