Distinguishing line thichness in "mfrac" display

<m:math display="block"> <m:mi> x </m:mi> <m:mo> = </m:mo> <m:mfrac linethickness="thick"> <m:mrow> <m:mn> 1 </m:mn> <m:mo> + </m:mo> <m:mfrac linethickness="medium"> <m:mn> 3 </m:mn> <m:mn> 10 </m:mn> </m:mfrac> </m:mrow> <m:mrow> <m:mfrac> <m:mn> 2 </m:mn> <m:mn> 7 </m:mn> </m:mfrac> <m:mo> + </m:mo> <m:mfrac> <m:mrow> <m:mfrac linethickness="medium"> <m:mn> 8 </m:mn> <m:mn> 11 </m:mn> </m:mfrac> </m:mrow> <m:mn> 5 </m:mn> </m:mfrac> </m:mrow> </m:mfrac> </m:math>

Bevelled fraction and the alignment of rows

    Attribute value types

  • numalign (default = center) : left | center | right
  • denomalign (default = center) : left | center | right
  • bevelled (default = false) : true | false

The “numalign” and “demoalign” affects alignment of numerator and denominator with respect to the bar. In most of the case, we do not change the default “center” element as this is the manner in which expressions are written in mathematics.

The “bevelled” attribute provides an alternate form for rendering fraction. In beveled form, the bar is a slant line, in stead of a horizontal line. This form is useful, when we want to include fraction inside the text as its default form takes more vertical space than that of the text, disturbing line spacing between text lines. More significantly, this reduces vertical space of an intensively nested expression.

Radical layout elements

The “msqrt” and “mroot” are radical elements. The “msqrt” element renders square root, while “mroot” element represents indices with a base and index.

"msqrt" layout element

The “msqrt” element accepts zero or one argument. Its syntax is :

<msqrt> base </msqrt>

When there are more than one child elements, then they are considered to be enclosed within “mrow” tags. This means that the “msqrt” element draws an inferred implementation of “mrow”. This saves us from coding “mrow” tags explicitly, irrespective of numbers of arguments.

Square root element : msqrt

<m:math display="block"> <m:msqrt> <m:mi>x</m:mi> <m:mo>-</m:mo> <m:mn>3</m:mn> </m:msqrt> </m:math>

Save the file after editing as “test.xml”. The display looks like :

x - 3

Like other elements in MathML, “msqrt” element supports nesting to enclose square root recursively.

Nested square

<m:math display="block"> <m:msqrt> <m:mi>{</m:mi> <m:mi>x</m:mi> <m:mi>+</m:mi> <m:msqrt> <m:mi>(</m:mi> <m:mi>x</m:mi> <m:mi>+</m:mi> <m:mi>10</m:mi> <m:mi>)</m:mi> </m:msqrt> <m:mi>}</m:mi> </m:msqrt> </m:math>

Save the file after editing as “test.xml”. The display looks like :

{ x + ( x + 10 ) }

"mroot" layout element

The “mroot” element requires exactly two arguments – the first one as the base and second as index. The syntax of the element is :

<m:mroot> base index </m:mroot>

Each of these arguments may be combination of elements, which must be grouped separately with the help of “mrow” element in two distinct groups.

Indices element : mroot

<m:math display="block"> <m:mroot> <m:mrow> <m:mi>x</m:mi> <m:mo>-</m:mo> <m:mn>3</m:mn> </m:mrow> <m:mfrac> <m:mi>x</m:mi> <m:mn>2</m:mn> </m:mfrac> </m:mroot> </m:math>

Save the file after editing as “test.xml”. The display looks like :

x - 3 x 2

Questions & Answers

A golfer on a fairway is 70 m away from the green, which sits below the level of the fairway by 20 m. If the golfer hits the ball at an angle of 40° with an initial speed of 20 m/s, how close to the green does she come?

chemistry could also be understood like the sexual attraction/repulsion of the male and female elements. the reaction varies depending on the energy differences of each given gender. + masculine -female.

can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Joseph Reply
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
