Frequently Asked Questions about roots()

Is the roots() function free to use in SimLab?

The browser workspace requires no MATLAB® license or installation. Connected features require network access and may have account, tier, availability, or usage limits. You can open roots() and 510+ other MATLAB®-compatible function references at simulations4all.com/simlab.

Do I need to install MATLAB to use roots()?

No. SimLab’s core parser, workspace state, and most functions run locally in your browser. The roots() function requires no MATLAB® license or desktop software download.

What does roots() do?

Find polynomial roots from coefficient vector p = [a_n, ..., a_0]. It is a MATLAB®-compatible core math function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: roots(p).

Can I run roots() in my browser?

Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls roots(), and run it. This function’s calculation runs locally in the browser. SimLab session analytics, sharing, feedback, and eligible acceleration have separate network boundaries.
