                        Options

                        Option Description Format Default value
                        count_multiplicities We can choose count multiplicities or not. If false, multiples roots are treated as different roots and they are displayed in a list. If true, they are displayed in a divisor object. {count_multiplicities=true} {count_multiplicities=false}
                        multiplicities We can choose to show or not multiplicities. {multiplicities=false} {multiplicities=true}
