To display square roots, superscripts, and subscripts in the forum, users can utilize LaTeX formatting. The inline format for square roots is achieved with \sqrt{a_1^2}, while the display format uses $$\sqrt{a_1^2}$$. The discussion emphasizes that these formatting options are detailed in the forum's FAQ and HowTo sections. Proper usage of these symbols enhances clarity in mathematical expressions. Understanding LaTeX is essential for effective communication in technical discussions.

How do I indicate or show square root sign, super script and sub script? How do I use latex in the forum?
As you can see from the image here, when I graph the 2d graph of y = 5sin(1/x), it comes out like I'd expect. However, when I graph it in a 3d graph, it doesn't look right at all. Can someone tell me why it isn't displaying right, or is it and I'm just missing something when I add the z axis?
