MATLAB: How to solve a symbolic complex equation with real and imaginary parts

complex numbersequationnonlinear

I have to solve this polynomium: to . So, I know that to solve this equation I have to replace the s to get
Therefore, the real and imaginary parts will be zero and we have and
So, to solve this in matlab, I write this code:
syms s k w
den = s^3 + 9*s^2 + 14*s + 126
assume([ k> 0,w >0])
solw = solve(imag(den)==0, w)
den = subs(den, w, solw)
solk = solve(den==0, k)
Then, this code work well, but if I change the polynomial degree I will have to change the parameters of solve function. So I to know if there is a more generic way to solve this equations
Thanks for reading

I'm not sure what "change the paramters of the solve function" means. If a general apprach is desired, maybe something along the lines of simultaneously solving two equations for two unkonwns:
>> syms s w k
assume(w>=0); assume(k>=0);
D(s) = s^3 + 9*s^2 + 14*s + 2*k;
eqn = [real(D(1j*w))==0, imag(D(1j*w))==0];
sol = solve(eqn,[w k],'ReturnConditions',true);
[sol.w sol.k]
 
ans =
 
[        0,  0]
[ 14^(1/2), 63]
Change D(s) as desired.
