Given a polynomial p known to have positive integer coefficients, deduce the values of the coefficients.

For example:

    p = @(x) x^2 + 2*x + 15;
    c = guess_the_coefficients(p);

outputs

    c = [1 2 15]

@Bainhome, Cody banned the reverse of this function because it could be used as a cheat to unfairly reduce Cody score. I do believe the function used cannot be in such manner...so it is not banned and free for your use. Enjoy!. :)
