AI Thread Summary
To input equations neatly in forum posts, users can utilize the X2 tag located above the Reply box or enclose the equation with dollar signs for formatting. For example, typing 4+x^{3/2} will display the equation correctly. Additionally, a resource link is provided for further symbols and formatting tips. This guidance helps maintain clarity and professionalism in mathematical discussions. Proper equation formatting enhances communication in technical forums.

I'm not sure if ii'm asking this question on the right forum but how do i put a neat equation into here to ask a question instead, for example, 4+x^3/2. How do i put that into a neat equaiton like you would find in a textbook? Thanks.

Hi Cornraker! Welcome to PF! :smile:

Either use the X2 tag just above the Reply box …

4+x3/2​

or type [noparse]before and after … 4+x^{3/2}[/noparse] :wink: …

(and bookmark http://www.physics.udel.edu/~dubois/lshort2e/node61.html#SECTION008100000000000000000" for some more symbols)

Thread 'Family of lines that are at a distance of 5 from the origin'

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...

Thread 'Making the denominator of a certain fraction real'

Essentially I just have this problem that I'm stuck on, on a sheet about complex numbers: Show that, for ##|r|<1,## $$1+r\cos(x)+r^2\cos(2x)+r^3\cos(3x)...=\frac{1-r\cos(x)}{1-2r\cos(x)+r^2}$$ My first thought was to express it as a geometric series, where the real part of the sum of the series would be the series you see above: $$1+re^{ix}+r^2e^{2ix}+r^3e^{3ix}...$$ The sum of this series is just: $$\frac{(re^{ix})^n-1}{re^{ix} - 1}$$ I'm having some trouble trying to figure out what to...
