hi. just joined this site and I've never used latex coding before so how would i go about formatting (x^2)/((36-x^2)^(3/2) dx?

You can play around with the Live Preview box to figure out how things work. We also now have a lot of templates on the right for $\LaTeX$ code. Finally, you can always right-click any $\LaTeX$ displayed math, follow Show Math As, and then choose TeX Commands to see how anybody typed up their math.

Code: 
$$\int \frac{x^2 \, dx}{(36-x^2)^{3/2}}$$

displays as

$$\int \frac{x^2 \, dx}{(36-x^2)^{3/2}}$$
 
$$\int \frac{x^2 \, dx}{(36-x^2)^{3/2}}$$ :D ooooh i did it. thanks!

You're quite welcome. Also check our http://mathhelpboards.com/latex-tips-tutorials-56/how-use-latex-site-27.html. That'll get you through all the basics.
