I want to make a latex output of:
\dfrac{\partial}{\partial x} \left(
e^{\left(-\dfrac{A}{x}\right)}\right)
= \dfrac{A}{x^2}e^{\left(-\dfrac{A}{x}\right)}
But it looks like the outer brackets are too deep at the bottom. anyone knows how to improve the output?
THanks.
Text Formatting ⇒ brackets too high when having 'big' exponent

Source code has to be formatted with the code environment of the forum. This keeps a post clear and legible.
Please post full examples and not only useless code snippets. For a better look of the exponents you can use the nicefrac package. Then the problem vanishes.
As soon as the problem is solved, please mark the topic accordingly by editing your initial post and choosing the green checkmark from the icon list.

Code: Select all
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{nicefrac}
\begin{document}
\[
\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\,\left[ e^{\left(-\nicefrac{A}{x}\right)}\right] = \frac{A}{x^2}\,e^{\left(-\nicefrac{A}{x}\right)}
\]
