Question

Which of the following expressions is equal to -3x^2-12??!!! please help him

Answer 1

-3 ( x+2i) (x-2i)

Explanation:

-3x^2-12

Factor out a -3

-3(x^2 +4)

Rewrite

-3 ( x^2 - -4)

-3 ( x^2 - (-2i)^2) This is the difference of squares ( a^2 -b^2 ) = (a-b)(a+b)

-3 ( x- -2i) (x+2i)

-3( x+2i) (x-2i)
