numpy.roots
-
numpy.roots(p)
[source] -
Return the roots of a polynomial with coefficients given in p.
The values in the rank-1 array
p
are coefficients of a polynomial. If the length ofp
is n+1 then the polynomial is described by:p[0] * x**n + p[1] * x**(n-1) + ... + p[n-1]*x + p[n]
- Parameters
-
-
parray_like
-
Rank-1 array of polynomial coefficients.
-
- Returns
-
-
outndarray
-
An array containing the roots of the polynomial.
-
- Raises
-
- ValueError
-
When
p
cannot be converted to a rank-1 array.

Notes
The algorithm relies on computing the eigenvalues of the companion matrix [1].
