x=-10:.001:10;
y=x-1.09-2.7217*log(1+(x/2.7217));
plot(x,real(y'*[1,-i]))
Based on this graph, the solutions 3.2106 and -1.7701 are correct.
for all x<2.7217, y(x) is complex. It looks like FZERO (and FSOLVE) look only
for the real part of the function y(x). If y(x) has a non-zero imaginary part,
a warning (or error) message should appear.
