Find roots of polynomial $$ p(x) = x^5-x^3-x^2-1 $$
Answer
The roots of polynomial $ p(x) $ are:
$$ \begin{aligned}x_1 &= 1.4291\\[1 em]x_2 &= 0.21+0.713i\\[1 em]x_3 &= 0.21-0.713i\\[1 em]x_4 &= -0.9246+0.6417i\\[1 em]x_5 &= -0.9246-0.6417i \end{aligned} $$Explanation
Polynomial $ x^5-x^3-x^2-1 $ has no rational roots that can be found using Rational Root Test, so the roots were found using Newton method.
