% Finds the polynomial roots using Laguerre's method.
There is a fix in place to force the return of real roots as Laguerre finds
any root, real or imaginary.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
x = Laguerre(p, xGuess)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
p (1,7) Vector containing the coefficients of the polynomial.
The coefficients are ordered as follows
Sum p[i] x^i, i=0...mP
xGuess (1) Initial guess for the root
-------
Outputs
-------
x (1) root
