a/sqrt(x)



hi,
  i need to compute a/sqrt(x) in floating point arithmetic.
if this is done using reciprocal square root, does it introduces
errors .. if all operations are done with 'infinitely precise rounding'
and same no of bits in fractional part?
if yes .. how much precise Rsqrt(x) shud be to do this properly?
thanks,
t0ny
