IMSQRT
Formulas / IMSQRTCalculate the square root of a complex number.
IMSQRT(inumber)
- inumber - required, a complex number used to get the square root
Examples
=IMSQRT("1+i")The IMSQRT function can calculate the square root of a complex number. For example, this formula returns 1.09868411346781+0.455089860562227i.
=IMSQRT("1+i", TRUE)The IMSQRT function can also calculate the square root of a complex number in polar form. For instance, this example returns 1.27201964951406∠45°.
=IMSQRT(SUM(1,2,3,4))The IMSQRT function can also be used in combination with other Sourcetable functions. This example returns 1.82574185835055+0i.
=IMSQRT(25)The IMSQRT function can be used to calculate the square root of a real number. For instance, this example returns 5+0i.
Summary
