Scope (2)
By default Eigenvalues does not use the general formulas for solving quartics in radicals:
With Quartics->True all quartics are solved in terms of radicals:
By default ToRadicals converts all quartic Root objects to radicals:
With Quartics->False, ToRadicals does not use the general formulas for solving quartics:
