Final Answer: The functions \(g(x)\) and \(h(x)\) such that \(f(x)=g(h(x))\) are \(\boxed{g(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}+1}\) and \(\boxed{h(x)=4 x^{2}-2}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Given the function \(f(x)=\sqrt[3]{4 x^{2}-2}+1\), we need to find functions \(g(x)\) and \(h(x)\) such that \(f(x)=g(h(x))\) and neither \(g(x)\) nor \(h(x)\) is solely \(x\).

Step 2 :In the given function \(f(x)=\sqrt[3]{4 x^{2}-2}+1\), the most nested operation is the cube root, which is applied to the expression \(4 x^{2}-2\). Therefore, we can take \(h(x)=4 x^{2}-2\) as the inner function.

Step 3 :The outer function is then \(g(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}+1\), which is applied to the result of \(h(x)\).

Step 4 :By substituting \(h(x)\) into \(g(x)\), we can confirm that \(f(x)\) is indeed equal to \(g(h(x))\).

Step 5 :Final Answer: The functions \(g(x)\) and \(h(x)\) such that \(f(x)=g(h(x))\) are \(\boxed{g(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}+1}\) and \(\boxed{h(x)=4 x^{2}-2}\).
