Answer:

-6,2

Explanation:

f(x) = (x + 2)^2 - 16

Set this equal to zero to find the solutions

0 = (x + 2)^2 - 16

Add 16 to each side

16 = (x + 2)^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt(16) = sqrt( (x + 2)^2)

±4 = x+2

Subtract 2 from each side

±4 -2 = x+2-2

±4 -2 = x

4-2 = x

-4-2 =x

2, -6

In order from least to greatest

-6,2
