In summary, the LaTeX code for large brackets and parentheses is "\left(" and "\right)". These commands allow for the creation of brackets and parentheses that automatically adjust to fit the size of the enclosed content. They are commonly used in mathematical equations and expressions to improve readability and organization. Additionally, the size of the brackets and parentheses can be manually adjusted by adding a size command after the "\left" and "\right" commands.

What is the latex code used in this forum of large bracket (and parenthesis) and subscript and superscript?

For example, the below parenthesis is too small:

##(x1 + \frac{1}{\frac{1}{x1}})##

What is the latex code of large bracket?
Use "\left( ... \right)" for large parentheses, "\left[ ... \right]" for large square brackets, "\left\{ ... \right\}" for large curly brackets, "\left. F(x) \right|_a^b" if you want
$$\left. F(x) \right|_a^b $$

The left and right objects need not match, but every "\left" command must be followed by a "\right" command, possibly for a blank symbol, like this: "\left( ... \right." The commands "\left. " and "\right." insert blank symbols, as in (1) above. Note that those are "\left_dot = \left.", not "\left_blank_space = \left ".

The size of the brackets are automatically adjusted to match the contents of the brackets.

1. What is LaTEX code for these fraction expressions?

The LaTEX code for writing fraction expressions is \frac{numerator}{denominator}. For example, to write 1/2, the code would be \frac{1}{2}.

2. How do I write mathematical symbols and equations in LaTEX?

To write mathematical symbols and equations in LaTEX, you can use special commands such as \alpha, \beta, \sum, and \int. For equations, you can use the equation environment or the dollar sign $ for inline equations.

3. What is the LaTEX code for writing superscripts and subscripts?

The LaTEX code for writing superscripts is ^{} and for subscripts is _{}. For example, to write x squared, the code would be x^2. To write x subscript 1, the code would be x_1.

4. Can I change the font style and size in LaTEX?

Yes, you can change the font style and size in LaTEX by using font commands such as \textit{} for italics, \textbf{} for bold, and \fontsize{}{} for font size. For example, to write something in bold and size 12, the code would be \textbf{\fontsize{12}{1}\selectfont something}.

5. Is there a quick way to add mathematical symbols and equations in LaTEX?

Yes, there are several packages such as amsmath and mathtools that provide shortcut commands for commonly used mathematical symbols and equations in LaTEX. You can also create your own custom commands for frequently used expressions.
