Solving a polynomial function using the solve function is not working

2 views (last 30 days)
v1 = [1 -2 -5 6]
I need to store the polynomial function in a new vector: x^3 -2x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0
Did I do it correctly?
Secondly I need to solve the polynomial using the solve function, I tried to do it but it is not working
syms x3 x2 x1
eqn = [x3 - 2*x2 - 5*x1 + 6 == 0]
solve(eqn)

Read about roots
p = [1 -2 -5 6] ;
r = roots(p)
r = 3×1
-2.0000 3.0000 1.0000

eqn = x^3 - 2*x^2 - 5*x + 6 == 0;
solve(eqn,'MaxDegree',3)
