I think most people are familiar with the quadratic formula that is taught
in schools.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation#Quadratic_formula
You may even still remember it, depending on how long it's been since you
learned it in school. The formula is short and easy to read. The cubic
formula? Not so much.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function#Roots_of_a_cubic_function
While Symbolic Math Toolbox _probably_ could expand out the formula using
the formulae on the above Wikipedia page, I highly doubt you'd find it
"usable".
The quartic case is even worse to the point where Wikipedia shows it as an
image rather than text.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_equation#Solving_a_quartic_equation
In any case, except for specific equations we'd probably have to use the
above form for quintics and higher.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel%E2%80%93Ruffini_theorem
Finally, just because a PROBLEM is simple to state doesn't mean the ANSWER
is simple to state. Just ask Pierre de Fermat and Andrew Wiles.
