which of the following expressions is equal to -3x^2-12??!!! please help him

Answer:
-3 ( x+2i) (x-2i)
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x^2-12
Factor out a -3
-3(x^2 +4)
Rewrite
-3 ( x^2 - -4)
-3 ( x^2 - (-2i)^2) This is the difference of squares ( a^2 -b^2 ) = (a-b)(a+b)
-3 ( x- -2i) (x+2i)
-3( x+2i) (x-2i)
