Question

Have a question about the math coding.
I want to write f(x)= 2/x so that the / sign become horizontal. Tried this code f(x)= {2} over {x} but this comes out.

Answer 1

\[f(x)= {2} \over {x} \]

Answer 2

try \[\text{\[f(x) = \frac{2}{x}\]}\]

Answer 3

tell me if it works or not

Answer 4

..for what I see on your post, your code doesn't work.

Answer 5

\[f(x)=\frac{2}{x}\]
nice one. better keep this.

Answer 6

lol my code works i intentionally made it not work...here's how it'll look like
\[f(x) = \frac{2}{x}\]

Answer 7

i used \text {} so the latex wont function (in case you're interested to learn it)

Answer 8

how to insert tab within the equation mode?

Answer 9

tab?

Answer 10

yeah so there is some space.

Answer 11

I want to write \[a_k =0\] as k -> infinity.
in one line.

Answer 12

\[\large a_{k\rightarrow \infty} = 0?\]

Answer 13

bla bla bla bla (x,y)\in\Sigma\times S

Answer 14

See it doesn't work this guy can mix text and equation in one line. http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/4ff64f7ee4b01c7be8c957bc

Answer 15

To get \(\LaTeX\) and normal text use \ ( to begin the equation with, and \ ) to end with (make sure to take the space out between the "\" and "(" and ")" ). For example, To write:

blarghy blargh \((x,y)\in\Sigma\times S\) blarghidy blurgh.

Type: \[\\\(\text{(x,y)\in\Sigma\times S}\)\]

Answer 16

To add spaces in there, use \; for small spaces, \, for extra small spaces, \quad for a larger space, and \qquad for a very large space.

Also, if you want to see what others typed to get an equation, right click on the equation select "Show Math As" and click on "TeX commands"
