I. PROBLEMS

II. Octave Source Code

p1 = [1 7 0 2 1 3]
p2 = [3 1 3 2 2 1]
p3 = [4 0 3 2 1 3]

roots_p1 = roots(p1) %roots of p1

p4 = p3.*p2 %multiplying p3 and p2 and display the value

p5 = p3./p2 %dividing p3 and p2 and display value

III. RESULTS

IV. INTERPRETATION
For the values of p1, p2, and p3, the missing variables are
substituted with zero, such as the ‘zero’ after 7 in p1, since
there is no value for s4.

The various commands for such as finding the roots, division

and multiplication can be found through GNU Octave’s list of
arithmetic commands and their documentation on finding the roots,
which can be found in their manual online.
