What are the solutions to the quadratic function. f(x) = x^2+4x-12

2, -6

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x - 12

A = 1

B = 4

C = -12

i used the "X" method to solve for the solutions. i think it's easier than using the quadratic formula but it doesn't always work

for the "X" method you have to multiply your A value and your C value together so 1 x (-12) = -12. that is going to be the top part of the X

the bottom part of the x will be your B value which is 4

we have to find multiples of -12 that will also add to 4

so -2 and 6 multiply to -12 but also add to 4 so we know these numbers will work

i added added two drawings to show how i found the solutions using the "X" method and the quadratic formula
