Coordinate question -- "above x-z plane"

Homework Statement



Say I want to verify a condition is true that ∇∇F = 0 above the x-z plane.Where F(x,y,z).

Does the "above x-z plane" mean in the x-z plane i.e. we evaluate ∇∇F(x,0,z) ?

I would think "above the xz plane" would mean where y>0.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
