Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \left|x^2+2 x-8\right| = 2-x \) \( x \le 2 \) \( |(x+4)(x-2)| = 2-x \) Case A: \( (x+4)(x-2) = 2-x \), when \( (x+4)(x-2) \ge 0 \) (i.e., \( x \le -4 \) or \( x \ge 2 \)) \( (x+4)(x-2) = -(x-2) \) \( (x-2)(x+5) = 0 \) \( x=2, x=-5 \) Both \( x=2 \) and \( x=-5 \) satisfy…
