SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on how to properly format limits in LaTeX when integrating a function. Users specifically mention the syntax for displaying the integral of a derivative, $f'(x)$, resulting in $f(x)$, with limits from $a$ to $b$. The correct LaTeX code provided is $$\int_{a}^{b}f'(x) \, dx=[f(x)]|_{a}^{b}$$, and for taller expressions, the use of $$\left[\frac{x^5}{5}\right]\Bigg|_{0}^{5}$$ is recommended. This ensures clarity in mathematical representation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX syntax for mathematical expressions
  • Understanding of integral calculus and its notation
  • Knowledge of the concept of derivatives
  • Experience with formatting limits in mathematical documents
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced LaTeX formatting techniques for mathematical expressions
  • Learn about the use of the \left and \right commands in LaTeX
  • Explore the differences between inline and display math modes in LaTeX
  • Study the integration of piecewise functions in LaTeX
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and professionals in mathematics, physics, and engineering who require precise formatting of integrals and derivatives in LaTeX documents.

When we integrate $f'(x)$ we get $f(x)$ and say we integrate from x = a to b

in the output we write f(x) within square brackets and limit on the right.

how do I write in latex

thanks in advance.

Just put a subscript $a$ and a superscript $b$ after the closing bracket: $\bigl[f(x)\bigr]_a^b$ gives $\bigl[\,f(x)\bigr]_a^b$ .
 
I usually write
$$\int_{a}^{b}f'(x) \, dx=[f(x)]|_{a}^{b},$$
produced by the code
Code:
\int_{a}^{b}f'(x) \, dx=[f(x)]|_{a}^{b}
But if you have taller expressions, you might need to "bigify" the vertical line thus:
$$\int_{0}^{5}x^4 \, dx=\left[\frac{x^5}{5}\right]\Bigg|_{0}^{5},$$
produced by
Code:
\int_{0}^{5}x^4 \, dx=\left[\frac{x^5}{5}\right]\Bigg|_{0}^{5}
 
Opalg and Ackbach thanks to both of you for quick response
