First find f(x)=3x24x. This represents the slope of any tangent line to f(x). At x=2, the slope of the tangent line would be 12-8=4. The slope of the normal at the same point would be 14.
At x=2, f(x)=0. Hence the normal at this point (2,0) would be y0=14(x2)
On simplification it is y=14(x2) in the point slope form.
