Mathematica Testing mathematica TeX output in PF

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the proper formatting of mathematical expressions in LaTeX, specifically focusing on the square root of x. Participants clarify that the expression \({\root{2}\of{x}}\) is indeed the square root of x, but suggest that using \(\sqrt{x}\) is simpler and more straightforward. There is also advice on avoiding unnecessary spaces in LaTeX commands and the importance of previewing posts to ensure correct formatting. Overall, the consensus is that while both methods are valid, \(\sqrt{x}\) is preferable for its simplicity unless dealing with more complex equations.

\({\root{2}\of{x}}\)

is it square root of x ... :) ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
\begin{document}

\({\root{2}\of{x}}\)


\end{document}
does it work?
 
can u tell me how can i do this properly?
 
<br /> \({\root{2}\of{x}}\)<br /> [\tex]<br /> now?
 
[text] \({\root{2}\of{x}}\) [/tex]
now?
 
i think now ...
[ tex ] \({\root{2}\of{x}}\) [ /tex ]
??
 
does the following work?

[ tex ] a^x_n [ /tex ]
 
You need to take out the spaces ashfaque.

Take a look at this thread for assistance. You can click on the graphic to see the code which generated it.

Please also note that you can see the graphic when you preview a post. Please experiment that way.

Thanks
 
\sqrt{2}

a^x_n
 
  • #10
okke now ..
E = mc^2
 
  • #11
Thank uuu MENTOR
:)
 
  • #12
You can enter square roots as

\root{2}\of{x}

but it's easier to use

\sqrt{x}

You probably don't need to bother using an equation editor unless your equation are really, really complex.
