I want to write

$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{2^n} i\bar z$

whereby n \to \infty should be written directly under \lim.

How can this be done?

    the subscript would go underneath in display math, you would not normally want it underneath in inline math as it has to fit in a normal baseline (compare changing $...$ to \[..\]) Aug 9, 2016 at 20:15

You would do

$\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{2^n} i\bar z$

Which gives

but, as David Carlisle said, that might not be what you want to do.

Hope this helps!

I agree with David, but it can be done, like this:

$\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{2^n} i\bar z$

    @JPi, sorry about that, though I did do a double take when I first read your answer before the edit (I even copy-pasted it into sharelatex to make sure I wasn't missing something). =)
