Posted the following two texts which didn't appear in LaTeX form,

1.
[math]\frac{dy}{dx}(2x^2+6) = 4x[\math]

2.
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
[math]\frac{dy}{dx}(2x^2+6) = 4x[\math]
\end{document}

What's wrong?

Quick · #13 $Old$ 11-08-2006, 02:05 PM

1) you don't need all those document class stuff

and two, it's not [\math] it's [/math]

such as: [math]\frac{dy}{dx}(2x^2+6) = 4x[/math] makes $\frac{dy}{dx}(2x^2+6) = 4x$

Hm, I just can't find how to make the inequality sign... \(ó.ò)/

that's the way I do it, Hacker's way is to write [math]\not =[/math] if that helps you to remember

Here are a few more LaTeX codes you may enjoy ... or not.

\circlearrowleft . $\circlearrowleft$ . . . \circlearrowright . $\qquad\circlearrowright$

\curvearrowleft . $\curvearrowleft$ . . \curvearrowright . $\curvearrowright$

\rightsquigarrow . $\rightsquigarrow$

\bar{x} . $\bar{x}$

\langle . $\langle$ . . . . \rangle . $\rangle$

\hdots . $\hdots$ . . \cdots . . $\cdots$ . . \ddots . $\ddots$

\pmod{n} . $\pmod{n}$

\boxed{x = 1} . $\boxed{x = 1}$

9\choose3 . $9\choose3$ . . . \binom{9}{3} . $\binom{9}{3}$

\! . removes a space
. . \sin^2x + \cos^2x produces: $\sin^2x + \cos^2x$
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $\uparrow$ . . . . $\uparrow$
I found that the extra spaces can be confusing.
They can be removed with: \sin^2\!x + \cos\!x: . $\sin^2\!x + \cos^2\!x$

Thanks! That can be useful.

Can someone show me how to make a Pascals triangle with LaTex code? Creating a new row with \\ wont work if I'm not creating a matrix or something similar with surrounding things.

Sorry, your Web browser is not Java compatible. This prototype will not be of much interest to you.

Type in: [draw]Point (100,80); Point (50,200); Point (150,200); Segment (1,2); Segment (1,3); Segment (2,3); Midpoint (4) [hidden]; Midpoint (5) [hidden]; Midpoint (6) [hidden]; Segment (7,8); Segment (7,9); Segment (8,9);[/draw] to get the picture at right.
