How to interprete output of solve function ?

3 views (last 30 days)
Hello, I'm trying to solve with math tool box a non liner equation :
with the code
syms x
solve ( x^2-(1+x)^2 + x^2*(1+x)^2 )
The output I can't understand is :
root(z^4 + 2*z^3 + z^2 - 2*z - 1, z, 1)
root(z^4 + 2*z^3 + z^2 - 2*z - 1, z, 2)
root(z^4 + 2*z^3 + z^2 - 2*z - 1, z, 3)
root(z^4 + 2*z^3 + z^2 - 2*z - 1, z, 4)
How shoul I interpret this ? I would like somthing more like a numeric root but maybe the problem is with the equation itself?
