Description

Roots of a polynomial

Usage

1
roots(x, method = c("polyroot", "eigen"))

Arguments

x

Polynomial coefficients with coefficients given in order from highest to lowest polynomial power. This is the Matlab/Octave convention; it is opposite of the convention used by polyroot.

method

Either “polyroot” (default) which uses polyroot for its computations internally (and is typically more accurate) or “eigen” which uses eigenvalues of the companion matrix for its computation. The latter returns complex values in case of real valued solutions in less cases.

Value

A complex array with the roots of the polynomial.
