Write it as sqrt(x) or x1/2 or x0.5
You can solve this to the accuracy of your liking by using Newton's method: xn+1 = xn - f(xn) / f'(xn) In this case, we'll say f(x) = x2 - cos(x) f'(x) would then be 2x + sin(x) Let's take a rough guess, and start with x0 = 0.5 x1 = 0.5 - (0.52 - cos(0.5)) / (2(0.5) + sin(0.5)) = 0.92420692729319751536 x2 = x1 - (x12 - cos(x1)) / (2x1 + sin(x1)) = 0.82910575599741780916 x3 = x2 - (x22 - cos(x2)) / (2x2 + sin(x2)) = 0.82414613172819520712 x4 = x3 - (x32 - cos(x3)) / (2x3 + sin(x3)) = 0.8241323124099124229 x5 = x4 - (x42 - cos(x4)) / (2x4 + sin(x4)) = 0.82413231230252242297 x6 = x5 - (x52 - cos(x5)) / (2x5 + sin(x5)) = 0.82413231230252242296 Now we can test our answer: 0.824132312302522422962 = 0.67919406818110235182 cos(0.82413231230252242296) = 0.67919406818110235183 So we're accurate to the nearest ten quintillionth.
When it has any term in which the variable is not raised to a non-nagative integer power. So for example, if it contains a term such as x-3 [the power is not positive] or x1/2 or sqrt(x) [the power is not an integer] or sin(x), or log(x) etc [not powers of x].
Periodic functions are those functions for which the value of the dependent variable repeats itself for certain values of the dependent variable.example:F(x)=yx is the dependent variable (output of the function)y is the independent variable (input of the function)F(x1)=y1F(x2)=y1As you can see the value of the function is the same for two different values of the dependent variable.The smallest difference between any two dependent variables giving the same value of the function is the period of the function.The periodicity of the usual sine function is 2pi. This is how it works:F(X)=sin(X)sin(x1)=ysin(x2)=sin(x1+2pi)=ysin(x3)=sin(x1+4pi)=yThe smallest difference between any two independent variables (x1 or x2 or x3) is 2pi.This is also evident from the general sine curve (graphical representation). The sine function has a fixed range from -1 to 1 (i.e.,for sin(x)=y, y can only lie between -1 and 1). So, the interval (difference in values of the independent variable) after which the nature of the wave repeats is it's period. Look at the graph and you'll see that the wave replicates after covering 2pi from the current point.
