The roots of polynomial $ p(x) $ are:
$$ \begin{aligned}x_1 &= 0.0277\\[1 em]x_2 &= -4.5745\\[1 em]x_3 &= 4.1518\\[1 em]x_4 &= -7.605 \end{aligned} $$Polynomial $ x^4+8x^3-16x^2-144x+4 $ has no rational roots that can be found using Rational Root Test, so the roots were found using quartic formulas.
