Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation \(2 x^3+5 x^2-4 x-12=0\) \(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 2 x^3+4 x^2+x^2+2 x-6 x-12=0 \\ & \Rightarrow\left(2 x^2+x-6\right)(x+2)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow\left(2 x^2+4 x-3 x-6\right)(x+2)=0 \end{aligned}\)…
