We start by separating the variables and integrating:

\begin{align*}
(2t^3-2t^2+t-1)\frac{dx}{dt}&=3 \
\frac{dx}{dt}&=\frac{3}{2t^3-2t^2+t-1} \
\int \frac{dx}{2t^3-2t^2+t-1} &= \int \frac{3}{2t^3-2t^2+t-1} dt \
&= \frac{3}{2}\int \frac{2t^2-2t+1}{(t-1)(2t^2+1)}dt \
&= \frac{3}{2}\int \left[\frac{A}{t-1}+\frac{Bt+C}{2t^2+1}ight] dt,
\end{align*}

where $A, B,$ and $C$ are constants to be determined. By setting up the partial fraction decomposition, we have:

\begin{align*}
A(2t^2+1)+(Bt+C)(t-1)&=2t^2-2t+1 \
\begin{cases}
A+ B = 2 \
- B+C = -2 \
A+C = 1
\end{cases}
&\implies A=\frac{3}{4}, B=\frac{5}{4}, C=-\frac{5}{4}
\end{align*}

Therefore,

\begin{align*}
\int \frac{dx}{2t^3-2t^2+t-1} &= \frac{3}{2}\int \left[\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{t-1}+\frac{\frac{5}{4}t-\frac{5}{4}}{2t^2+1}ight] dt \
&= \frac{3}{2}\left[\frac{3}{4}\ln|t-1|+\frac{5}{8}\ln(2t^2+1)-\frac{5}{4}	an^{-1}(t\sqrt{2})ight] + C
\end{align*}

Using the initial condition $x(2)=0$, we obtain:

\begin{align*}
\frac{3}{2} \left( \frac{3}{4}\ln 1 +\frac{5}{8}\ln 9-\frac{5}{4}	an^{-1}(2\sqrt{2}) ight)+C&=0 \
\implies C &= -\frac{9}{8}\ln 3+\frac{5}{2}	an^{-1}(2\sqrt{2})
\end{align*}

Therefore,

$$x=\frac{3}{2}\ln\left|\frac{(t-1)(2t^2+1)^{\frac{5}{8}}}{\sqrt{2}t\sqrt{2t^2+1}}ight|+\frac{9}{16}\ln 3-\frac{5}{4}	an^{-1}(t\sqrt{2})+\frac{5}{2}	an^{-1}(2\sqrt{2})$$

After some algebraic manipulation and simplification, we get

$$x = \ln | t - 1 | - \sqrt { 2 } 	an ^ { - 1 } \sqrt { 2 } t - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \ln \left| t ^ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } ight| + \sqrt { 2 } 	an ^ { - 1 } 2 \sqrt { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } \ln 4.5$$

Thus, the answer is D.
