LaTeX How to make an adjusting height integral sign

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the integration of the function $$\left \int \frac{dy}{y^{1/3}} \right.$$ and highlights issues with LaTeX formatting. Users note that the integral does not render correctly due to the use of \left with the integral symbol, which is not a delimiter. Concerns are raised about the sizing of the integral, particularly when fractions are involved. Suggestions include using the "bigints" package or display style to resolve the formatting issues. Additionally, a link to a help page for LaTeX on the Physics Forums is provided, directing users to a section specifically for integrals.

$$\left \int \frac{dy}{y^{1/3}} \right.$$
Doesn't work.
There also was an examples page in your site, i don't find it

\int is not a delimiter, so it doesn't work with \left. It normally exists in two sizes, depending on whether the equation is displayed or inline. Why do you want to tweak its size?
 
Because there's a fraction inside, but thanks for the answer
