Units[Natural][sqrt] - the square root function in the Natural Units environment
Units[Natural][root] - the nth root function in the Natural Units environment
Units[Natural][surd] - the non-principal root function in the Natural Units environment
Calling Sequence
sqrt(x)
root[n](x)
root(x, n)
surd(x, n)
Parameters
x
-
algebraic expression
n
integer
Description
The sqrt(x) function takes the square root the unit-free portion of x and multiplies it by the unit raised to the power 1/2.
The root(x, n) and root[n](x) functions take the nth root of the unit-free portion of x and multiply it by the unit raised to the power 1/n.
The surd(x, n) function takes the nth root of the unit-free portion of x, whose (complex) argument is closest to the unit-free portion of x, and multiplies it by the unit raised to the power 1/n.
For other properties, see the global functions sqrt, root, and surd.
