    Limit Symbol
AI Thread Summary
To display the limit notation correctly with the subscript under "lim," use the command \lim instead of \text{lim}. This adjustment ensures that the subscript appears directly beneath the limit in display mode, as shown in the examples $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0+}$ and $\textstyle\lim_{x\to0+}$. Additionally, it's noted that \lim is categorized as a big operator, similar to \sum and \int, which affects its formatting in mathematical expressions. For further assistance, links to additional resources are provided.

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.
