State the two linear factors of the equation of the parabola whose x-intercepts occur at x=3 and x=8 and form a possible equation for this parabola.
a) (x - 3)(x - 8); y = (x - 3)(x - 8)
b) (x + 3)(x + 8); y = (x + 3)(x + 8)
c) (x - 3)(x + 8); y = (x - 3)(x + 8)
d) (x + 3)(x - 8); y = (x + 3)(x - 8)
