Polynomials as Vectors
The following line creates a polynomial s^3+3*s^2+4*s+5

poly1 = [1 3 4 5];

% polyval() calculates the value of polynomial(first argument) at the

second argument
poly1_val = polyval(poly1,2)

%Roots of polynomial are found using roots()

poly1_roots = roots(poly1)

% conv() multiplies the polynomial

x = [1 2];
y = [1 4 8];
z = conv(x,y)

% deconv() divides first argument vector by the second

[xx, R] = deconv(z,y)

poly1_val =

poly1_roots =

-2.2134 + 0.0000i
