    p : array_like
        Rank-1 array of polynomial coefficients.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        An array containing the roots of the polynomial.

    Raises
    ------
    ValueError
        When `p` cannot be converted to a rank-1 array.

    See also
    --------
    poly : Find the coefficients of a polynomial with a given sequence
           of roots.
    polyval : Compute polynomial values.
    polyfit : Least squares polynomial fit.
    poly1d : A one-dimensional polynomial class.

    Notes
    -----
    The algorithm relies on computing the eigenvalues of the
    companion matrix [1]_.
