sqrt(x) function is not faster than the apparent equivalent pow(x,0.5).
Answer: B
Correct answer: false
sqrt(x) is faster - often much faster - than pow(x, 0.5). Square root is a single hardware instruction on most processors, whereas pow is a general routine computing an exponential and a logarithm. It is also more accurate, so sqrt should always be preferred.
