Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-2,2,4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\left|x^2-x-6\right|=x+2\) \(\begin{array}{ll} \Rightarrow & x^2-x-6=x+2 \\ \text {Or } & x^2-x-6=-x-2 \\ \Rightarrow & x^2-2 x-8=0 \text { or } x^2=4 \\ \Rightarrow & (x=-2,4) \text { or }(x= \pm 2) \Rightarrow x=\{-2,2,4\} \end{array}\)
