jesse cleared things up
here is an online quartic equation calculator i used
http://www.1728.com/quartic.htm
it did come out to the book answer
so the book had a misprint
and it was a higher level equation
no wonder
>that [(-sqrt)] and [-(sqrt)] are two very different things
since i don't have a square root sign on my keyboard, i had to translate it thru keyboard characters
in the realm of complex numbers, the former is correct also although
it would usually be replaced with "sqrt(3)i"
