I introduce the following trivial modification of (the output of) Solve
solveMod[eq_Equal, x_] :=
({x -> #1[[1]], If[Length[#1] > 1, StringJoin[ToString[Length[#1]],
"-ple root"], "simple root"]} & ) /@
Split[x /. Solve[eq, x]]//(TableForm[#1, TableAlignments -> Center,
TableHeadings -> {None, {"root\n", "multiplicity\n"}}] & )
Here is a simple application
solveMod[(x - 1)^2*x*(x - 3)^3*(x + 5)^5*(x + 2) == 0, x]
I look for other possible similar one-liners.
Any response will be greatly appreciate.
