Only problem is that I'd really like to use the proot() command but when I do I get a really weird answer compared the the x-intercepts that Carl gets when he does it in example 2 of the tutorial. Any idea why that is?

I put a screen capture in an attachment.

That was an earlier version of the HP Prime software - I guess didn't require [1,-2,-5,24] brackets at that time.
