p2 =

2*x^4 + 3*x^2 + 2*x - 7

Find the roots of the polynomial by passing the coefficients to the roots function.

roots(p1.coef)

ans =

2.0946 + 0.0000i

-1.0473 + 1.1359i

-1.0473 - 1.1359i

Add the two polynomials p1 and p2.

MATLAB calls the plus method defined for the DocPolynom class when you add two

DocPolynom objects.

p1 + p2

ans =

2*x^4 + x^3 + 3*x^2 - 12
