In summary, to open a bracket at one line and end it at another line in a multi-line equation in latex, you can use periods after braces to indicate a "false" starting or ending. This can be done by placing the equation within the \begin{equation} and \end{equation} tags, and using the \left( and \right) commands to open and close the bracket, with periods after each one. This method was confirmed to work by minger.

Hello,
In a multi-line equation in latex, how to open a bracket at a line and end it at another line?

You use periods after braces to indicate a "false" starting or ending. You would do something like this:
Code:
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
x =& \left( here is some equation \right. \\
  & \left. here is the rest \right)
\end{split}
\end{equation}

It does work. Thank you very much minger.

1. What is a multi-line equation in LaTeX?

A multi-line equation in LaTeX is a mathematical expression that spans multiple lines and is typeset using the LaTeX typesetting language. It is commonly used in scientific and mathematical documents to display complex equations or formulas.

2. How do I create a multi-line equation in LaTeX?

To create a multi-line equation in LaTeX, you can use the align or align* environment. These environments allow you to align several equations on multiple lines by using the & symbol to specify the alignment points.

3. Can I number each line in a multi-line equation in LaTeX?

Yes, you can number each line in a multi-line equation in LaTeX by using the align environment and adding the \notag command to the lines you do not want to be numbered. Alternatively, you can use the align* environment and add the \tag command to the specific line you want to be numbered.

4. How can I add text or symbols between lines in a multi-line equation in LaTeX?

You can add text or symbols between lines in a multi-line equation in LaTeX by using the \intertext or \shortintertext commands. These commands allow you to insert text or symbols in between equations without affecting the alignment.

5. Can I use other mathematical symbols and functions in a multi-line equation in LaTeX?

Yes, you can use a wide range of mathematical symbols and functions in a multi-line equation in LaTeX. These include operators, fractions, exponents, roots, matrices, and many more. You can also use various packages to add additional symbols and functions if needed.
