The discussion revolves around issues related to LaTeX formatting, specifically the use of the \left and \right commands in mathematical expressions. Participants explore the correct syntax and potential errors in the provided LaTeX code.
Participants generally agree on the necessity of using \right) in conjunction with \left( and the importance of maintaining continuity in the LaTeX code. However, there is no explicit consensus on the best approach to correct the original code.
There are indications that the discussion relies on specific interpretations of Mathjax's handling of LaTeX, which may not be universally applicable across different LaTeX environments.

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.
