Square root

Question

for example you can write sqrt(9 )= 3
but how can I write (8)=2

Actually u got the point lol. I don't know how it is called in English. cube root?? hexagon root?? anyway how can I code in JAVA

Answer 1

for that U can use Math.pow(a,b) funcn directly
//availble in java

👉Math.pow(a,2); //a^2 ... square
👉Math.pow (a,1.0/3.0); //a^(1/3) ... cuberoot

👉Math.pow (a,1.0/2.0) //a^1/2 ... square root of a
//can also be written as Math.sqrt(a);

//in above example ... it will be
👉👉 int b=(int)Math.pow(8,1.0/3.0);
//remember value comes out as double ... so we neex to typecast it to int type

Answer 2

It's known as cube root:

"The java.lang.Math.cbrt(double a) returns the cube root of a double value"

Answer 3

for each type of root there is a certain word right??

Answer 4

In English, we say square root for n^(1/2) and cube root for n^(1/3).

n^(1/4) is known as quad root or fourth root.

All other roots are known as fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth root etc.
