Hi,
I'm using NSolve to return the roots of a large polynomial. I've attached my notebook. I'm using a C program to run mathematica so the equation is generated in C. I filter through the packets to get all the real roots and I get 5 (0.109553, 0.420735, 0.469545, 0.749589, 0.835452). The problem is that since NSolve is a numerical approximation, the real roots aren't really accurate. Notably, 0.749589 which returns 0.000253739 when I plug in that value for x. Is there another function I can use or maybe I'm going about this the wrong way.
Thank you kindly,
Denise
