Given S = 50

Calculate √50 using the Bakshali Method

Find the highest perfect square < 50

For n = 1, we have 12 = 1

For n = 2, we have 22 = 4

For n = 3, we have 32 = 9

For n = 4, we have 42 = 16

For n = 5, we have 52 = 25

For n = 6, we have 62 = 36

For n = 7, we have 72 = 49

For n = 8, we have 82 = 64

Therefore, N = 8

Calculate d:

d = S - N2

d = 50 - 82

d = 50 - 64

d = -14

Calculate P:

P  =  d
  2N

P  =  -14
  2(8)

P  =  -14
  16

P = -0.875

Calculate A:

A = N + P

A = 8 + -0.875

A = 7.125

Plug in our numbers:

S ~ A - P2/2A

50 ~ 7.125 - -0.8752/2(7.125)

50 ~ 7.125 - 0.765625/14.25

50 ~ 7.125 - 0.053728070175439

50 ~ 7.0712719298246
