blacksteel, tell me how you make those pretty matrices and vectors

OpenStudy (blacksteel):

Using the equation inserter. The bottom menu has a button that looks like (a b) (c d) If you press it, it will insert something that looks like this:\[\left[\begin{matrix}? & ? \\ ? & ?\end{matrix}\right]\] You can then replace the question marks with whatever you want. And "& ?" to add another column and "\\ ?" to add another row. Play around with it a bit!

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\left[\begin{matrix}4 & 6 \\ 1 & 3\\ 4 & 4 \\ oh you are brillant\end{matrix}\right]\]

myininaya (myininaya):

that was easy lol

myininaya (myininaya):

thanks

OpenStudy (blacksteel):

Haha, no problem.

OpenStudy (blacksteel):

(Also, you can delete "& ?" to turn them into 1xn matrices for writing vectors)

OpenStudy (blacksteel):

err, nx1 rather

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\left(\begin{matrix}4 \\ 7 \\ 3 \\ 2 \end{matrix}\right)\] cool!

myininaya (myininaya):

\[(\frac{2}{3})^2\] how do i make that exponent look more like an exponent do you know?

myininaya (myininaya):

\[(\frac{2}{3})^{^2}\] i think i made the exponent smaller but not higher

OpenStudy (blacksteel):

unfortunately, i don't know. I usually just write \[(2/3)^2\]

myininaya (myininaya):

this might be okay

myininaya (myininaya):

joe say samething so i can give you a medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no >.>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol jk

myininaya (myininaya):

thanks for your help blackstell that was all i needed now you are getting a medal whether you like it or not its called tough love

myininaya (myininaya):

oops that top line was to blacky and the next two lines was to joe lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha

OpenStudy (amistre64):

use "\left(" and "\right)" in your text ... then exponent it \[\left(this\over that\right)^2\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and this is for convenience :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\left[ \begin{array}c 12 & 6 & -88\\65 & 8 & 1\\2 & -35 & 9\\-4 & 7 & 1\\ \end{array} \right]\]
