where's the math palette? What if I want the integral sign?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

integral(f(x)) from [a,b] if anything

OpenStudy (amistre64):

but in here we got the equation button that has it in it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if you know how to type in LaTeX coding then you can type it in directly

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\huge\int xdx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\int x^2dx

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\ followed by [ and then by \] with your equation stuff in betwee

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\int \frac{x+1}{x-1}dx

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int x^2\ dx\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

youve got the innards good; but you gotta tell the reply box that its actually in latex code by wrapping it in \ and [ and \ and ]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is \int \frac{x+1}{x-1}dx

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int \frac{x+1}{x-1}dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\int {\frac{x+1}{x-1}}dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is more strict than regular LaTeX

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int stuff \*] ^ remove the *

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it is becasue the text is parsed and you have to encode it in the delimiters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah ok, thank you!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

but to answer; you might wanna seperate it up into seperate fractions: \[\int\frac{x}{x-1}+\frac{1}{x-1}dx\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then int by parts the left side there

OpenStudy (amistre64):

+x(ln(x-1)) -1(integral of ln(x-1))? :)

OpenStudy (zarkon):

or \[\int\frac{x+1}{x-1}dx=\int\frac{x-1+2}{x-1}dx=\int\frac{x-1}{x-1}dx+\int\frac{2}{x-1}dx=\int 1dx+\int\frac{2}{x-1}dx\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yeah, that does seem easier :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i tend to forget about adding zero ....

OpenStudy (zarkon):

best tricks...add '0' and multiply by '1'
