How to keep more digits when use symbolic expressions

my codes is simple,
syms x
f(x)=0.123456789*x
f(x) = 
f(1)
ans = 
sympref('FloatingPointOutput', true);
f(x)=0.123456789*x
f(x) = 
f(1)
ans = 
0.1235
When use sympref, it will only keep four digits, (I want to show 0.123456789). Is there any way to keep them all.

From the documentation on 'FloatingPointOutput'
  • The true value option displays symbolic results in the short fixed-decimal format with 4 digits after the decimal point.
To get more digits, use the digits function and the vpa function, together or separately —
syms x
f(x)=0.123456789*x
f(x) = 
f(x)=0.123456789*x
f(x) = 
F = vpa(f,64) % Specify 64 Digits In The 'vpa' Output
F(x) = 
.
