Answer:
x = 2
Explanation:
You want the value of x that satisfies x|x| = 4.
Domain
The absolute value function splits the domain of the equation into two parts.
For x < 0, the equation is ...
x(-x) = 4
x² = -4
There are no real solutions in this domain.
For x ≥ 0, the equation is ...
x² = 4
x = √4 = 2
The only solution is x = 2.

Additional comment
In the attachment, we have rewritten the equation to ...
x|x| -4 = 0
The graphing calculator readily identifies x-intercepts, so this is a convenient way to find the solution. You will notice that for x < 0, the graph is of -x²-4, which is never zero.
