Examples ======== >>> from sympy import Poly, roots, degree >>> from sympy.abc import x, y >>> roots(x**2 - 1, x) {-1: 1, 1: 1} >>> p = Poly(x**2-1, x) >>> roots(p) {-1: 1, 1: 1} >>> p = Poly(x**2-y, x, y) >>> roots(Poly(p, x)) {-sqrt(y): 1, sqrt(y): 1} >>> roots(x**2 - y, x) {-sqrt(y): 1, sqrt(y): 1} >>> roots([1, 0, -1]) {-1: 1, 1: 1} ``roots`` will only return roots expressible in radicals. If the given polynomial has some or all of its roots inexpressible in radicals, the result of ``roots`` will be incomplete or empty respectively. Example where result is incomplete: >>> roots((x-1)*(x**5-x+1), x) {1: 1} In this case, the polynomial has an unsolvable quintic factor whose roots cannot be expressed by radicals. The polynomial has a rational root (due to the factor `(x-1)`), which is returned since ``roots`` always finds all rational roots. Example where result is empty: >>> roots(x**7-3*x**2+1, x) {} Here, the polynomial has no roots expressible in radicals, so ``roots`` returns an empty dictionary. The result produced by ``roots`` is complete if and only if the sum of the multiplicity of each root is equal to the degree of the polynomial. If strict=True, UnsolvableFactorError will be raised if the result is incomplete. The result can be be checked for completeness as follows: >>> f = x**3-2*x**2+1 >>> sum(roots(f, x).values()) == degree(f, x) True >>> f = (x-1)*(x**5-x+1) >>> sum(roots(f, x).values()) == degree(f, x) False References ========== ..
