The general check is to put your values for X into the equation and evalutate. It should come out as zero. Im not solving a ^9 polynomial at this time of night.[/QUOTE]You don't need to solve it, you can see by inspection that 2 of of the roots are 0 and 1 and the other roots should be repeat roots of x = 1 because it's (x-1)^8 if I remember by GCSE maths correctly!
