Thanks. I copied and pasted from Word and assume the bold was inherited from the the 3 titles in the template. Apologies for that.
I cannot work out to insert nice equations like the two that you have inserted above. And yes, I need to prove that:
E(Xr)=Γ((r/B)+1) - your first equation
When I ask 'Can I say then that if u = xB, then Xr = ur/B' I meant is this the correct way of starting to solve it? Or am I on a hiding to nothing?
Many thanks
You can get rid of the bold font, just by making sure your input occurs after the "[/B]" delimiter. In this forum, "[B ]" turns on bold and "[/B ]" turns it off. (Note: I inserted extra space after the "B" and before the "]" to prevent the processor from actually switching to bold, but there should be no space between them.)
To insert "nice" equations, just use LaTeX; a stripped-down version of it comes loaded into this Forum. For an in-line equation, use # # d = a + b c^2 \int_0^1 x^3 dx # # (with no space between the two #'s at the start and at the end); that produces ##d = a + b c^2 \int_0^1 x^3 \, dx##. For a "dsplayed" equation (on its own, separate line) use two $ signs (with no space between them) at the start and at the end. That gives
$$d = a + b c^2 \int_0^1 x^3 \, dx$$
If you search in this Forum for a "LaTeX tutorial", I am sure you will find one. To see the actual typed commands for a LaTeX expression, just right-click on the expression or equation and ask for a display math as tex.
As to your question: the fall-back position is to always try it yourself, to see what you get. If it works, you are done; if it fails, you need to try something else. But, try it first.
