if isreal(landa(4))
plot(v0,landa(4));
hold on;

landa is always a complex number.

Hi . what id do now ?I'm a little confused on this issue .
Do you want to plot only real roots?
Yes : i should see two figure by real number from landa.
Ok,landa contains only complex numbers. What do you want to do with them?

There are no real roots in the range v0 = 80 to 180. The two real roots are
v0 = -2.9519709800851799940292844879542507513708021691910
v0 = 22.904282241682175870334381209712496165896259534707
The equation is a quartic in which only two of the roots are real. By the range v0 80 to 180, the imaginary components are unquestionably non-zero .
