A. Less than 3
B. Greater then 3
C. Between 3 and 4
D. Equal to 4
E. Greater than 4
The square root of 4 = 2

The cube root of 4
The cube root of 1 = 1
The cube root of 8 = 2
So, the cube root of 4 is between 1 and 2.
In other words, the cube root of 4 = 1.something

The fourth root of 4
The fourth root of 1 = 1
The fourth root of 16 = 2
So, the fourth root of 4 is between 1 and 2.
In other words, the fourth root of 4 = 1.something

TOTAL SUM = 2 + 1.something + 1.something
= more than 4
= E
