Question

?

anonymous · Answer

I need to know how to draw (you know, be able to display cube root and squares without using carrots).

asnaseer · Answer

oh I see - you mean you want to learn how to enter equations?
e.g.$$ax^2+bx+c=0$$

anonymous · Answer

Yes, exactly. Help, please?

asnaseer · Answer

ok, firstly each equation starts with "\ ["
and ends with "\ ]"
WITHOUT the quotes or spaces.

asnaseer · Answer

so to enter the formulae I typed above, you would do something like this:$\text{\[ax^2+bx+c=0\]}$
try it.

anonymous · Answer

$$ax^2+bx+c=0$$

anonymous · Answer

Thanks a lot!

asnaseer · Answer

you then need to learn the various "codes" for common symbols. e.g.
$\text{\[\sqrt{x^3}\]}$ will give you $\sqrt{x^3}$

asnaseer · Answer

This language is called $\LaTeX$. You should be able to find a lot of information on it using Google.

There have also been a series of YouTube videos on it created by one of the members of OpenStudy @mathteacher1729. see here: http://www.youtube.com/user/mathteacher1729#g/c/DD406480D35CE390
