g is a constant function ..

as g attains only rational values and in the vicinity of any one rational value there are irrational values (and rational values but not continuous)

So g must be constant

Hence g(2009) = g(2008) = g(2010) = g(0) = 5

So the equation is x2+x+1 = 0

This has two imaginary roots
