How to make an adjusting height integral sign

In summary, the height of an integral sign can be adjusted by changing the font size or using specific commands in LaTeX. It can also be adjusted in Microsoft Word by selecting the integral sign and using the options in the "Equation Tools" tab. The standard height of an integral sign varies depending on the font size, but is generally equal to the height of capital letters. The height can be adjusted in all mathematical equations using software that supports mathematical typesetting.

$$\left \int \frac{dy}{y^{1/3}} \right.$$
Doesn't work.
There also was an examples page in your site, i don't find it

\int is not a delimiter, so it doesn't work with \left. It normally exists in two sizes, depending on whether the equation is displayed or inline. Why do you want to tweak its size?

Because there's a fraction inside, but thanks for the answer

Related to How to make an adjusting height integral sign

1. How is the height of an integral sign adjusted?

The height of an integral sign can be adjusted by changing the font size of the integral sign or by using the \big, \Big, \bigg, or \Bigg commands in LaTeX to manually adjust the size.

2. Can the height of an integral sign be adjusted without changing the font size?

Yes, the height of an integral sign can also be adjusted by using the \raisebox command in LaTeX to shift the position of the integral sign up or down.

3. How do I adjust the height of an integral sign in Microsoft Word?

To adjust the height of an integral sign in Microsoft Word, go to the "Design" tab, click on "Equation Tools," and then select the integral sign. From there, you can change the size and position of the integral sign using the options in the "Equation Tools" tab.

4. What is the standard height of an integral sign?

The standard height of an integral sign is dependent on the font size being used and can vary. However, in most cases, the height of an integral sign is approximately equal to the height of the capital letters in the same font.

5. Can I adjust the height of an integral sign in all mathematical equations?

Yes, the height of an integral sign can be adjusted in all mathematical equations, as long as the software or platform being used supports mathematical typesetting. This includes programs such as LaTeX, Microsoft Word, and Google Docs.
