+.Fn cbrt "double x"
+.Ft float
+.Fn cbrtf "float x"
+.Ft long double
+.Fn cbrtl "long double x"

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn cbrt ,
+.Fn cbrtf ,
+and
+.Fn cbrtl
+functions compute
+the cube root of
+.Ar x .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn sqrt ,
+.Fn sqrtf ,
+and
+.Fn sqrtl
+functions compute the
+non-negative square root of
+.Ar x .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn cbrt ,
+.Fn cbrtf ,
+and
+.Fn cbrtl
+functions return the requested cube root.
+The
+.Fn sqrt ,
+.Fn sqrtf ,
+and
+.Fn sqrtl
+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
+(except that the square root of -0 is valid and equal to -0.)
