%N Decimal expansion of cube root of 4.
%C Let h = 4^(1/3). Then (h+1,0) is the x-intercept of the shortest segment from the x-axis through (1,2) to the y-axis; see A197008. - _Clark Kimberling_, Oct 10 2011
%C Let h = 4^(1/3). The relative maximum of xy(x+y)=1 is (-1/sqrt(h), h). - _Clark Kimberling_, Oct 05 2020
