Square Root

 

Description

This component computes the principle square root of the input.

 

Every positive number has two square roots, one positive and one negative. The principle square root is defined as the positive value.

 

Square roots are not defined for negative numbers within the domain of real numbers. Care must be taken to ensure the input will always be positive. This component gives zero as the output for a negative input.
