+.Nm sqrt ,
+.Nm sqrtf
+.Nd cube root and square root functions
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libm
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In math.h
+.Ft double
+.Fn cbrt "double x"
+.Ft float
+.Fn cbrtf "float x"
+.Ft double
+.Fn sqrt "double x"
+.Ft float
+.Fn sqrtf "float x"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn cbrt
+and the
+.Fn cbrtf
+functions compute
+the cube root of
+.Ar x .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn sqrt
+and the
+.Fn sqrtf
+functions compute the
+non-negative square root of x.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn cbrt
+and the
+.Fn cbrtf
+functions return the requested cube root.
+The
+.Fn sqrt
+and the
+.Fn sqrtf
+functions return the requested square root
+unless an error occurs.
+An attempt to take the
+.Fn sqrt
+of negative
+.Fa x
+raises an invalid exception and causes an \*(Na to be returned.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
