In a recent post i tried to write/state the following ... ... ...

I am most interested in how/why we know that

$$\text{df} (h) = (
​
\text{df}_1 (h), / ... / ... / ... / ​
\text{df}_m (h) )​
$$


... and also that ...$$f' (p) = \begin(bmatrix) f'_1 (p) \\ f'_2 (p) \\ . \\ . \\ . \\ f'_n (p) \end(bmatrix) $$

​


... ... ...
BUT ...... the above did not post and display correctly ...
... ... can someone inform me of the errors in the above ...Peter

First one didn't work because you inserted colour at several places.

Code:
$$\text{df} (h) =  ( [FONT=Tahoma]\text{df}_1 (h), / ... / ... / ... /  [FONT=Tahoma][FONT=Tahoma]\text{df}_m (h) )$$[LEFT][FONT=Tahoma][LEFT][FONT=Tahoma]

You wanted $df(h) = (df_1(h), \ldots, df_m(h))$ which is given by

df(h) = (df_1(h), \ldots, df_m(h))

I used \ldots for the dotting since that's more natural-looking.

The second one didn't render because you used ( instead of {. This

Code:
\displaystyle f' (p) = \begin{bmatrix} f'_1 (p) \\ f'_2 (p) \\ . \\ . \\ . \\ f'_n (p) \end{bmatrix}

$\displaystyle f' (p) = \begin{bmatrix} f'_1 (p) \\ f'_2 (p) \\ . \\ . \\ . \\ f'_m (p) \end{bmatrix}$

HTML:
$\displaystyle\mathbf{f}' (\mathbf{p}) = \begin{bmatrix} f'_1 (p) \\ f'_2 (p) \\  \vdots \\ f'_n (p) \end{bmatrix}$

$\displaystyle\mathbf{f}' (\mathbf{p}) = \begin{bmatrix} f'_1 (\mathbf{p}) \\ f'_2 (\mathbf{p}) \\ \vdots \\ f'_m (\mathbf{p}) \end{bmatrix}$

Using \vdots for the $\vdots$ and \mathbf{p} to write $\mathbf{p}$

Thanks for the help MountEvariste ...

Really appreciate your help ...

No idea how the colour codes got there ...
