roots -Polynomial roots

Syntax

r = roots(c)

Descr iption

r = roots(c) returns a column vector whose elements are the roots of the polynomial c.

Row vector c contains the coefficients of a polynomial, ordered in descending powers. If c has n+1 components, the polynomial it represents is .

Tips

Note the relationship of this function to p = poly(r), which returns a row vector whose elements are the coefficients of the polynomial. For vectors,roots and poly are inverse functions of each other, up to ordering, scaling, and roundoff error.
