The 4 roots for any quartic equation;
where are equal to those of
where, and .
The roots in terms of these 4 coefficients are given by the formula in the image below:
However, this formula is too unwieldy for general use, hence other methods or simpler formulas (given below) are generally used.

“If we parents accept that problems are an essential part of life’s challenges, rather than reacting to every problem as if something has gone wrong with universe that’s supposed to be perfect, we can demonstrate serenity and confidence in problem solving for our kids....By telling them that we know they have a problem and we know they can solve it, we can pass on a realistic attitude as well as empower our children with self-confidence and a sense of their own worth.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“A nation fights well in proportion to the amount of men and materials it has. And the other equation is that the individual soldier in that army is a more effective soldier the poorer his standard of living has been in the past.”
