How to align the equals signs on equations of the form: f(2) = 2*(2)^2 + 8 = 2*4 + 8 = 8 + 8 = 16

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

\[\]To achieve this you need to enclose your equations between \\([\)\\(\)begin{align} and \\(\)end{align}\\(]\). Each equal sign should be preceded with an '&' symbol, and each line should end with a double backslash (i.e. \\). So the sample equation in the question would be written out as: \\([\)\\(\)begin{align} f(2) &= 2*(2)^2 + 8\\ &= 2*4 + 8\\ &= 8 + 8\\ &= 16 \\(\)end{align}\\(]\) This will produce something like this:\[\begin{align} f(2) &= 2*(2)^2 + 8\\ &= 2*4 + 8\\ &= 8 + 8\\ &= 16 \end{align}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\begin{array} f(2) &= 2*(2)^2 + 8\\ &= 2*4 + 8\\ &= 8 + 8\\ &= 16 \end{array}\] just checking it works with "array" as well

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

how did they write it?

myininaya (myininaya):

when asnaseer come back we should tackle him with the question

myininaya (myininaya):

oh

myininaya (myininaya):

this is it

myininaya (myininaya):

\begin{array} f(2) &= 2*(2)^2 + 8\\ &= 2*4 + 8\\ &= 8 + 8\\ &= 16 \end{array}

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

??

myininaya (myininaya):

you know you can copy that code

myininaya (myininaya):

right click it

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

\[\begin{align} f(2) &= 2*(2)^2 + 8\\ &= 2*4 + 8\\ &= 8 + 8\\ &= 16 \end{align}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

yep

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

no but i want it in the equation editor

myininaya (myininaya):

you can do it in the equation editor

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

\[\[\begin{align} f(2) &= 2*(2)^2 + 8\\ &= 2*4 + 8\\ &= 8 + 8\\ &= 16 \end{align}\]\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\begin{array} new line \\ new line \\ new line \end{array}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

i did that in equation editor

myininaya (myininaya):

i did a new line you have to do \begin{array} \\ newline\\ newline \end{array}

myininaya (myininaya):

oop

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

? i mlost
