Performs mathematical root calculations including square root, cube root, and nth roots. Use when user asks to calculate square root, cube root, nth root, or uses keywords like 'sqrt', 'root of', 'calculate root'.
This skill performs mathematical root calculations including square roots, cube roots, and nth roots of numbers.
Activate this skill automatically when the user:
When the user requests a root calculation:
Parse the request to identify:
Perform the calculation using Python:
For square root:
import math
result = math.sqrt(number)
For cube root:
result = number ** (1/3)
For nth root:
result = number ** (1/n)
Handle edge cases:
abs(number) ** (1/n) * (-1 if number < 0 else 1)Present the result clearly:
User: "What's the square root of 144?"
Claude: The square root of 144 is 12.
User: "Calculate the cube root of 27"
Claude: The cube root of 27 is 3.
User: "What's the 4th root of 81?"
Claude: The 4th root of 81 is 3.
User: "Square root of 50"
Claude: The square root of 50 is approximately 7.0711.
User: "Cube root of -8"
Claude: The cube root of -8 is -2.
User: "Square root of -16"
Claude: The square root of -16 is not a real number. In the complex number system, it equals 4i.
