This note will teach us how to write mathematical equations with a curly brace, specifically when writing articles in an inline mode on microblogging sites.
Case equation with a curly brace in LateX:
Example 1: Probability equation
These equations are required when we represent a function with multiple use cases. For example, to define probability of the events.
- cases keyword creates a curly brace
- ampersand (&) symbol bring equal spacing
- double backslash act as new line with the curly brace
f(\omega) = \begin{cases} 1, & \text{if } \omega \text{ is Head} \\ 0, & \text{if } \omega \text{ is Tail} \end{cases}
Example 2: Probability function
In this example, we will show how to case equation with a curly brace in LateX for a random variable X which is equally likely to take each integer value in the range .
P_X(x) = \begin{cases} 1/n, & x = 1,2,3,4, \cdots, n \\ 0, & \text{elsewhere.} \end{cases}
Example 3: Cumulative distribution function
In this example, we will show how to case equation with a curly brace in LaTeX to write a cumulative distribution function of a random variable X which is equally likely to take each integer value in the range .
F_X(x) = \begin{cases} 0 & x < 1, \\ [x]/n, & 1 \leq x \leq n, \\ 1, & x \geq n, \end{cases}
