2[(∛8)²+1/8*16]
(∛8)² = (∛8) x (∛8) = (∛64) = 4
1/8 *16 = 16/8 = 2
Total expression = 2 * (4+2)= 12
<em>n</em> must be 0, since <em>x </em>ⁿ = 1 for all positive, real <em>x</em> if <em>n</em> = 0. So the answer is A.
Three line segments can form a triangle if the length of the longest segment is greater than the sum of the lengths of the shorter segments.

They can form a triangle.
Now if c is the length of the longest side and a and b are the lengths of the shorter sides, then:
- if

, the triangle is right
- if

, the triangle is acute
- if

, the triangle is obtuse

The triangle is obtuse.
The answer is D.
