I'd like to fit a custom equation for linear regression. For example y = a1 + a2 * x^4 + a3 * x^5. How do you do this with fitlm function?

This is actually the first time I posted a question so I don't really know how things work. And yes, I've tried cftool and got results through the custom equation fit option. But I also want to know how to do it manually or through codes using fit functions.

And the other questions I asked in my comment? Did you try the code generation tool? What fit options did you use?

Presuming you are trying to estimate a1, a2, a3 you can just to a lmdivide. You will need data for x & y with atleast 3 to solve (and 4 for a linear regression).
e.g. with the n observations, you will have n equations a1 + a2xi^4 + a3xi^5 = yi
do
A = X\Y
where A is the 3 x 1 vector of unknowns a1 a2 a3
X is n x 3 matrix of observations x1, x2, x3,...xn
[1 x1^4 x1^5;
1 x2^4 x2^5; ....;
1 xn^4 xn^5]
Y is n x 1 vector
[y1; y2;..;yn]
Regards.

Thanks. And I do have a set of data for x and y (30 points). But I also need to fit a custom equation on the data so a fit function would be needed.

You may use fitlm(X,Y). Note that \ or fitlem can be used only for linear regression and not any equation in general. You will need other functions like nlinfit etc for any equation in general.
