I wonder if I get complicated like with: $\begin{cases} \frac{i a^{2} \left(t + \frac{v_{0}}{a}\right)^{3}}{2 \sqrt{a^{2} \left(t + \frac{v_{0}}{a}\right)^{2} - c^{2}}} - \frac{i c^{2} \left(t + \frac{v_{0}}{a}\right)}{2 \sqrt{a^{2} \left(t + \frac{v_{0}}{a}\right)^{2} - c^{2}}} - \frac{i c^{2}}{2 a} \operatorname{acosh}{\left (\frac{a}{c} \left(t + \frac{v_{0}}{a}\right) \right )} & \text{for}\: \frac{a^{2}}{c^{2}} \left(t + \frac{v_{0}}{a}\right)^{2} > 1 \\\frac{1}{2} \left(t + \frac{v_{0}}{a}\right) \sqrt{- a^{2} \left(t + \frac{v_{0}}{a}\right)^{2} + c^{2}} + \frac{c^{2}}{2 a} \operatorname{asin}{\left (\frac{a}{c} \left(t + \frac{v_{0}}{a}\right) \right )} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$ Ok, I am impressed. That looks quite cool

I need it to use at PHF and I need it at my site. Please look at my site. The platform is html pages, driven via a php database. Might you be hired to advise me how to get some beginning equations up at PHF and on my pages? Please visit my home page, follow links to the interior. See the scope of what I have. Thank you, Jim Pohl http://www.thermospokenhere.com (home page) Contact: soq84jim@comporium.net

Use texify.com, and copy and paste it's output into your posts here on PHF. This same technique may work for your site as well as long as you allow embedded images.

To generate the Latex code I used sympy. An online version can be found here: http://live.sympy.org/ After sympy generates the fancy styled equation I right click on it then select "Show Math as" and then "TeX commands" from the submenu. I then copy and paste that into PHF as per the first link.

Nice that you don't have to copy from texify, but you do have to memorize the secret command: [img]http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?*LaTeX commands go here*[/img] I didn't use simpy - I simply placed the LaTeX commands as instructed - in this case: \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b^2-4ac}}{2a} Last edited by ChipB; Jan 21st 2014 at 04:17 PM.

Yours is the way I would code it, but some others prefer the following:
$$[r \cos \; 45-|\overline{BC}| \cos \; a]\overline{I}+[|\overline{AB}|-r \sin \; 45]\overline{J}+ [|\overline{BC}| \sin \; a-r]\overline{K}=0$$

It's not much different, just use \sin and \cos.
