There you go =)
When I try to do the questions as fast as possible, I always get 'tricked' by those fine details.
I just trust that hopefully when I check my work at the end of my exam, I'll pick up on those little things that may have 'tricked' me.

I'm curious, did you solve it out algebraically? Or did you perhaps find the solution graphically?
algebraically, I just forgot to include the zero at the end.

I set it equal to zero, and considered both cases (minus and plus). Then did it again (in one of them as the other was equal to zero) as there was an absolute value still.

Then tested a point between -2 and 2 (not zero obviosuly). Didn't work so It had to be on the outside.

Will be coming to this again for the fourth year straight :)

Pretty much acting as a control now to see difficulty over the years.
