    Answer D

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x^2 - 2 can be rewritten as (x-sqrt (2) (x+sqrt (2)). Thus, in factored form, we have f (x) = (x-3) (x-sqrt (2) (x+sqrt (2). Set this equal to zero and solve for the three roots:

    x-3=0 yields x = 3.

    x-sqrt (2) = 0 yields x = sqrt (2), and

    x+sqrt (2) = 0 yields x = - sqrt (2).

    This matches Answer D.
