Explanation:

To find the value of x for which f(x) = g(x), we can equate the two functions:

f(x) = g(x)

x^2 - 1 = 3x

Bringing all the terms to one side, we get:

x^2 - 3x - 1 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we can solve for x:

x = [ -(-3) ± sqrt((-3)^2 - 4(1)(-1))] / 2(1)

Simplifying the expression:

x = [3 ± sqrt(13)] / 2

Therefore, the values of x for which f(x) = g(x) are (3 + sqrt(13))/2 and (3 - sqrt(13))/2.
