Answer 1

this is a very good question

Answer 2

The answer is d: (x+2)(x-6)

Explanation:

`x^(2) - 4x - 12`

`x^(2)` being a,
`- 4x` being b, and
`-12` being c

Step 1 is to figure out what two numbers can add to b while also multiplying to c

Those two numbers for this equation are
`-6` and
`2`

`x^(2) + 2x - 6x - 12`

Then we factor it down

`x(x+2)` and
`-6(x+2)`

The outside properties go in their own parenthesis

`(x - 6)`

and the Inside ones are already one object

`(x+2)`

Therefore the final product is

`(x+2)(x-6)`
