Automatically find all roots of a function using bisect method

MATLAB using bisection:
Function: -x^4+12x^2-3x-5 Defined on [-4,4]
Write a script to automatically find the intervals [a,b] containing the four roots. Then, plot them.
I have already plotted the function, but am stuck on how to find the roots.

Choose delta small, e.g. 0.01.
Evaluate f at -4 and at -4+delta.
If f(-4)*f(-4+delta) <=0, there will be a root in between.
If f(-4)*f(-4+delta)>0, continue by setting -4 to -4+delta and -4+delta -> -4+2*delta.
If f(-4+delta)*f(-4+2*delta) <=0, there will be a root in between...
