  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Case \(I\) : \(x \geq-5\) \( x^2+5 x+2 x+12=0 \) \( x^2+7 x+12=0 \) \( x=-3,-4\) Case \(II\) : \(-7<\mathrm{x}<-5\) \(-x^2-5 x+2 x+14-2=0\) \( -x^2-3 x+12=0 \) \( x=\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{9+48}}{2} \) \( =\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{57}}{2} \)…
