Answer:

y = (x + 6)(x - 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 + 4x - 12

We need 2 numbers whose product is -12 and whose sum = +4.

These are + 6 and -2 so the factors are:

(x + 6)(x - 2).

Answer:

(x + 6)(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is $y = x^2 + 4x - 12$ .

A quadratic equation can be factored in the form $(x - a) (x - b)$ where $-a$ and $-b$ will form the roots of the equation

Here the roots are $- 6$ and $2$ .

The factored form would simply be: $(x + 6) (x - 2) = 0$ .

Thus the answer.

First compute the whole number of the possibilities :
10*9=90.
Compute the number of favorable possibilities:
There is 5 even numbers. Once we pick an even number,
we pick 5. So the number of the favorable possibilities is 5.
Now we compute the probability like this:
$\frac{5}{90}$
