Misprint in maths quest 11 unit 1/2?

Does anyone else think that the ‘z’ in question 1.1.5 on page 3 (kicking off with CAS) should be ‘x’?

For example, why would we be asked to factorize x^2+4z+6 over the complex number field?

If z=x then the resulting factorization gives complex results. If z=z I simply end up with a factorization in terms of x and z.
