Question 1010528
 Solve the polynomial: 
x^4+x^3-6x^2-14x-12=0 
------
{{{graph(400,400,-10,10,-50,50,x^4+x^3-6x^2-14x-12)}}}
----
You see Real solutions at x = -2 and x = 3
-2)....1....1....-6....-14....-12
.......1...-1....-4....-6....|..0
3).....1....2.....2....|..0
----
Solve x^2 + 2x + 2 for the complex roots::
x = [-2 +- sqrt(4-2)]/2
x = -1 + (1/2)sqrt(2) or x = -1 - (1/2)sqrt(2)
