Hello ! If you have questions about code, please, post the code, not images. –  Sektor Feb 11 at 8:22
Sqrt needs to start with a capital S and takes its arguments in brackets []. –  Eckhard Feb 11 at 11:02

Copied the code as best I could, what with squinting at a tiny netbook screen. As comment said, please take the time to post code properly in future queries. I'm guessing you had a symbol set somewhere that perhaps clobbered the result.
