I do not know how to do that with the symbolic package, but you can
easily do that with maxima (http://maxima.sourceforge.net) which is
actually a (free as in speech and free as free beer) computer algebra
system unlike octave which has focus on numerics and not symbolic
computations.
in maxima type:
A: matrix([T,T*(T+1)/2],[T*(T+1)/2, T*(T+1)*(2*T+1)/6]);
invert(A);
