Returns the yth root of the input value x. If x is not complex, x must be greater than or equal to zero unless y is an integer. Otherwise, the result is NaN.

Inputs/Outputs

  • cdbl.png y —

    y can be a scalar number, array or cluster of numbers, array of clusters of numbers, and so on.

  • cdbl.png x —

    x can be a scalar number, array or cluster of numbers, array of clusters of numbers, and so on.

  • idbl.png y-th root(x) —

    y-th root(x) returns the yth root of x.

    When x and y are complex, the following equation defines y-th root(x): y-th root(x) = exp((1/y) * ln(x)) Refer to the Natural Logarithm function and the Exponential function for more information.
