There are several ways to solve x2-x-12. The easiest way, if you have a graphing calculator, is to put y = x2-x-12 and y = 0 into the graph and then solve for the intercepts. A way to do it without a graphing calculator is by factoring. x2-x-12 factors into (x-4) and (x+3). Then set (x-4) and (x+3) each equal to zero and solve. (x-4)=0 becomes x=4. (x+3)=0 becomes -3. Therefore, the answers are -3 and 4.
