Little addition

Comment 4 of 4 |

Just to say that the roots are:

y=f(x)

x1=-5+sqrt(5)

x2=-5-sqrt(5)

y=f(f(x))

x1=-5+sqrt(sqrt(5))

x2=-5-sqrt(sqrt(5))

y=f(f(f(x)))

x1=-5+sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(5)))

x2=-5-sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(5)))

y=f(f(f(f(x))))

x1=-5+sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(sqrt5))))=6.105823

x2=-5-sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(5))))=3.894176
