Determining the LaTeX representation

In LaTeX, how do I represent a differential equation?

To represent a differential equation in LaTeX, you can use the `\dfrac{d}{dx}` command to represent the differential operator, and you can use the `\text{ }` command to add text or variables to the equation.

For example, the following code:

Copy code

`\dfrac{d}{dx} \left( x^2 \right) = 2x`

will produce the following output:

$$\\dfrac{d}{dx} \\left( x^2 \\right) = 2x$$

You can also use the `amsmath` package to use the `\frac{d}{dx}` command, which will produce a slightly smaller differential operator.

For example:

Copy code

`\usepackage{amsmath} \begin{equation} \frac{d}{dx} \left( x^2 \right) = 2x \end{equation}`

will produce the following output:

$$\\frac{d}{dx} \\left( x^2 \\right) = 2x$$
