Answer:

(X+2) (X-2) . This is the final answer

Explanation:

Solving f(x) = x^2 - 4

A^2 - B^2 is a special case where the original equation before it was foiled is

(A + B) (A - B) because the middle terms will cancel out when foiled.

This means that the equation can be written as

(X + 2)(X - 2) = 0

Each of these you will then set equal to 0 and then solve

X + 2 = 0, X - 2 = 0

X = -2, 2

I hope this helps you! let me now if its right ok <3 :)
