Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 2 = 2^(2/3) + 2^(-2/3)

x² = 2^(2/3) + 2 + 2^(-2/3)

x² = (2^(1/3))² + 2 × 2^(1/3) × 2^(-1/3) +

(2^(-1/3))² (It is in the form of a²+2ab+b²)

x² = (2^(1/3) + 2^(-1/3))²

x = 2^(1/3) + 2^(-1/3)

$\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Growth}\\\\
A=I(1 + r)^t\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\to &40,000\\
r=rate\to 3\%\to \frac{3}{100}\to &0.03\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &16\\
\end{cases}

A=40000(1+0.03)^{16}\implies A=40000(1.03)^{16}$
