\textbf{Question 1.}

\textbf{a)} Give $z = ln(1-x^2y^2)$ . Calculate $A = x\frac{\partial z}{\partial x} - y\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}$ .

\textbf{b} Find extreme values of function $A = e^y(y + x^3 - 3x^2)$

\textbf{Question 2.}

\textbf{a)}  Change order of integral $\int_{0}^{2} dx \int_{-x}^{\sqrt{2x - x^2}} f(x,y) dy$

\end{document}


I want like this

(and the same with other formula). How to do this?

• Well \int\limits but you probably also want a displaystyle integral, but then you won't want to have that inline with the text – Au101 Jul 15 '18 at 15:33
• I am new, therefore I don't know so much. Keep everything simple. – Do Nhu Vy Jul 15 '18 at 15:34
• I try to change $\int_{0}^{2} dx \int_{-x}^{\sqrt{2x - x^2}} f(x,y) dy$ , It looks better, but still does not like the sample. – Do Nhu Vy Jul 15 '18 at 15:37
• $\int\limits_{0}^{2} dx \int\limits_{-x}^{\sqrt{2x - x^2}} f(x,y) dy$ will look like the sample, but in that case notice how the maths is not on the same line as the words, do you see? It gets put on a new line and it gets centred. Now, you could have $\displaystyle\int\limits_{0}^{2} dx \int\limits_{-x}^{\sqrt{2x - x^2}} f(x,y) dy$ which would give you integrals that look like the sample that are also on the same line as the words. But this is really quite bad because the height of the lines will be all messed up – Au101 Jul 15 '18 at 15:43
• This is a long way of saying, if you want your maths in line with your text, then you actually should use the smaller integral signs and you shouldn't really have the limits above and below the signs, it will look bad because you will have to have a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge gap between one line and the next in order to fit it all in – Au101 Jul 15 '18 at 15:44

I would not use displaystyle math mode, and I certainly wouldn't place the limits of integration below/above the integral symbol. The integrals and fraction expressions are perfectly legible even in inline math mode. I would, however, fine-tune the spacing inside the integral expressions, and I would especially take care to perform less visual formatting; instead, use the LaTeX machinery to generate a consistent page layout. Oh, and do write \ln, not just ln, to denote the natural logarithm operator, and don't leave space between the $ symbol that terminates inline math mode and a trailing punctuation mark (such as . or ,). \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{amsmath} %%\usepackage{amsfonts} % is loaded automatically by 'amsymb' package \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{enumitem} % create a custom-style enumerated list \newlist{myenum}{enumerate}{1} \setlist[myenum]{label=\bfseries\alph*), ref=\alph*), wide=0pt, leftmargin=*} \begin{document} \noindent 1st period.

By using \displaystyle.
• if ln is operator (natural algorithm) than you should write it as \ln :-) – Zarko Jul 15 '18 at 15:58
