(o^_') ROOT of all numbers

  • (o^_')

    Hi guys... ok, ok... and gals,

    I'm not sure, if i placed this post in the right section.

    I was just wondering, is there a method for a ROOT. I'm not talking about the ROOT in XML or the ROOT of a plant or the ROOT of all evil or whatever, I'm talking about ROOT like a square ROOT or cube ROOT... I found a method for Square ROOT, but not the other roots.

    When I try to search it in search engines, I only see ROOTs for Square and XML.

    Actually, I have no use of it for now. I'm just studying what else I can do with SQL 2005...

    I hope you guys... and gals, can help me.

    By the way, sorry for the bad english (T_T) I'm only 3 years old and just finished my A B C's... (O.o)

    Oh yeah, one more thing, it would be better if you could give me something for SQL server 2005 or lower cause that's what I'm currently using

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!

  • Here's an example of the cube root of 27...

    select POWER(1.0 * 27, 1.0 / 3)

    Solutions are easy. Understanding the problem, now, that's the hard part.

  • Oh man, those memories from Math 101 lessons...

  • When you use the POWER function, you will get better results if you cast all the parameters to float. If needed, round the result.

    select

    MyNum,

    CubeRootNumeric= power(1.0*MyNum,1.0/3),

    CubeRootFloat= power(convert(float,MyNum),1E/3E)

    from

    (-- Test Data

    selectMyNum = 1union all

    selectMyNum = 2union all

    selectMyNum = 3union all

    selectMyNum = 11union all

    selectMyNum = 26union all

    selectMyNum = 27union all

    selectMyNum = 28

    ) a

    Results:

    MyNum CubeRootNumeric CubeRootFloat

    Man, thanks, I forgot about that. I remembered it as 27 raised to the -3 and not 1/3. man , i need t review my lessons T__T.

    I remember doing that equation once for a programming language with no root also, forgot what that language was.

    AMNESIA...

    Whats MATH 101, i only know basic math from my book entitled My first 123's. Hey I'm just 3 years old. 😛

    Thanks for reminding me about that. helped alot... not only in my database

    Hmmm, this was my first post in a forum (well except from the comments in youtube) and its great that you really get your answers here. ^__^ thanks. this site is COOL
