root - root of a number
SYNOPSIS
root(x, n, [, eps])
TYPES
x number
n positive integer
eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon()
return real number
DESCRIPTION
For real x and positive integer n, n being odd if x is negative,
root(x,n,eps) returns a multiple of eps differing from the
real n-th root of x (nonnegative if x is positive) by less than
0.75 eps, usually by less than 0.5 eps. If the n-th root of
x is a multiple of eps, it will be returned exactly.
For complex x and positive integer n, or negative x with positive even
n, root(x, n, eps) returns a real or complex numbers whose real
and imaginary parts are multiples of eps differing from the real
and imaginary parts of the principal n-th root of x by less than
0.75 eps, usually by less than 0.5 eps.
For negative x and odd n, the principal n-th root of x may be
obtained by using power(x, 1/n, eps).
