SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on how to correctly format limits in LaTeX, specifically how to display the subscript "x → 0+" under the "lim" notation. The solution provided is to use the command \lim instead of \text{lim}, which ensures that the subscript appears correctly in display mode. The user is also directed to additional resources for further clarification on LaTeX formatting.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX typesetting
  • Understanding of mathematical notation and limits
  • Knowledge of display vs. inline modes in LaTeX
  • Basic command syntax in LaTeX
NEXT STEPS

In expressing a limit as below ...$$\text{lim}_{ x \rightarrow 0+ } \frac{ F( c + h ) - F(c) }{h} = f(c) $$How does one get the $$x \rightarrow 0+$$ to appear under the text "lim" as in the following:View attachment 7328Help will be appreciated ...

Use \lim instead of \text{lim}. The subscript will then automatically appear underneath the limit (in display mode, but not in inline mode: $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0+}$, $\textstyle\lim_{x\to0+}$).
 
Peter, please see the links in https://driven2services.com/staging/mh/index.php?posts/87934/. And yes, \lim is a big operator along with \sum, \int and others.
