[R] R solve equation

[rafamoral]

If you are looking for a solution to a polynomial equation with imaginary
solutions you could use polyroot().
Example:
To solve the equation: 1 + x + x^3 + 2*x^4 = 0
you create a vector with the coefficients of x and use polyroot:

z <- matrix(c(1,1,0,1,2), ncol=1)
polyroot(z)

Also try ?polyroot
