Answer:

x = (2+√10)/ 3 and x= (2-√10/3)

Explanation:

g(x) = -3x² +4x +2

use the quadratic formula x= (-b±√b²-4ac)/2a, when g(x) = ax² +bx +c

x= [-4 ±√4²-4*(-3)*2] / 2*(-3) , solve under the square root

x= (-4 ± √16 +24) / -6 , add under the radical

x= (-4 ±√40) / -6, simplify the square root

x= (-4 ±2√10) /-6, factor -2

x= -2 (2±√10)/-2 *3, simplify -2

x= (2±√10)/3

Therefore,

x = (2+√10)/ 3 and x= (2-√10/3)
