The IMSQRT function in Google Sheets is a mathematical tool that allows users to calculate the square root of complex numbers. This function takes in two arguments – the real and imaginary parts of the complex number – and returns the square root in its simplified form. To use the IMSQRT function, simply enter the function name followed by the real and imaginary numbers separated by a comma within the parentheses. This enables users to perform complex mathematical calculations efficiently and accurately within a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
IMSQRT function
The IMSQRT function computes the square root of a complex number.
Parts of a IMSQRT function
The IMSQRT formula is formatted as =IMSQRT(complex_number).
| Part | Description | Notes |
| complex_number | The complex number to take the square root of. |
Sample formulas
IMSQRT(2)
IMSQRT("3+2i")
Notes
- This function is equivalent to using
IMPOWER(complex_number, 0.5). - While it is not possible to use the
SQRTfunction to take the square root of a negative real number, it is possible to useIMSQRTto take the square root of a complex number with a negative real number component.
Examples
| A | B | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Formula | Result |
| 2 | =IMSQRT(4) | 2 |
| 3 | =IMSQRT("3+4i") | 2+i |
| 4 | =IMSQRT("3-4j") | 2-j |
| 5 | =IMSQRT(COMPLEX(3, 4)) | 2+i |
