Question

A student performed the following steps to find the solution to the equationx² + 4x -12=0 Where did the student go wrong?Step 1. Factor the polynomial into (x+6) and (x-2)Step 2. X-6 = 0 and x + 2 = 0Step 3. x = 6 and x = -2A. in Step 2B. in Step 1C. in Step 3D. The student did not make any mistakes, the solution is correct

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots of this polynomial are -6 and 2, therefore step 1 is correct

Since the roots are -6 and 2 the polynomial can be factored as:
