Answer
We have two methods for this topic:
Method 1:2-point method. We know that if Y represents the value of the square root of x, then we can determine the 0<=y<x, so we can set a min=0,max=x, and then each time using a two-point method to obtain mid= (Min+max)/2, and then just compare mid^2 with X, if mid^2 <x, then Max=mid continue two points, and vice versa mid^2>x, then Min=mid continue two points. Until a mid is found, the square closest to X is good.
Method Two: Newton iterative method. Computes the solution of x^2 = N, making f (x) =x^2-n equivalent to solving the solution of f (x) =0. First take a point x0 for a larger number, if x0 is not a solution, do a pass (x0,f (x0)) This point tangent, and the x-axis intersection is x1, see X1 is not the solution. If not, then continue to do a pass (x1,f (x1)) This point tangent to the x-axis intersection is x2, and then see X2 is not the solution. The process is then repeated, after (XI, F (xi)), the tangent equation for this point is f (x) = f (xi) + F ' (xi) (X-XI), where F ' (x) is the derivative of f (x), 2x in the subject. Xi+1=xi-f (xi)/F ' (xi) can be obtained by making the tangent equation equal to 0. With the iterative formula, the solution of the final equation can be obtained by the infinite approximation of the iterative formula.
Continue simplifying, xi+1=xi-(xi2-n)/(2XI) = XI-XI/2 + N/(2xi) = XI/2 + N/2xi = (xi + n/xi)/2.
