Hi Cornraker! Welcome to PF! :smile:

Either use the X2 tag just above the Reply box …

4+x3/2

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

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