The 4th selection is appropriate.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Quadratic formula:
when the equation is 
The given equation is
. Let's first arrange this so its format looks like
:


Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation

Now, we can easily identify 3 as a, -2 as b and 0 as c. Plug these into the quadratic formula:

I hope this helps!
The first step in solving this problem is taking 2 and 3 and multiplying them (2 * 3 = 6) .
Now, for the second step, we will cube it. Since there are 2 numbers, we are going to use the 2nd root (2sqrt(6)) This will give us: 4.89897948557 or 5 if you would round it. This would be the Geometric Mean.
