The discussion focuses on correcting LaTeX syntax errors related to the use of the MathJax library. The primary issue identified is the improper pairing of the \left( and \right) commands, specifically the use of \r) instead of \right). Participants emphasize that both commands must be used together within the same code segment. The solution involves removing unnecessary line breaks and ensuring proper syntax to achieve the desired output.

When you use "\left(" you must also use "\right)" in the same bit of code, if I understand our Mathjax version of Latex correctly. In your original post you've separated these parts by ending the initial \$ and beginning a new \$. If you drop this part then the code works fine. As Fantini said, you should use \right) instead of \r) as well. To see what code I've used in this post then simply quote my post.
