No matter what I do, I can't get a solution. I get roots of a polynomial equation using a P, but I can't get any root of the same polynomial with a R. I am sure I am doing something wrong, but I don't know what. Can anyone post a working example in which any root of, say a quadratic polynomial equation, are determined using a R? Thanks a lot.
