Question

Assume that x is a variable that has been declared as a double and been given a value. Write an expression to compute the quartic root of x. The quartic root of a number is the square root of its square root.

Answer 1

`\[x^{(1)/(4)}\]`

Explanation:

x is a variable which has been declared of type double.

Then square root of x can be expressed as
`\[√(x)\]`

The quartic root of a number is the square root of its square root.

In other words, quartic root of x can be expressed as
`\[\sqrt{√(x)}\]`

This can be expressed equivalently as
`\[\sqrt{x^{(1)/(2)}}\]`

`\[={x^{(1)/(4)}}\]`
