Fitting a very large equation into a page

Post by thedreamshaper »

I have a rather large equation which insits on going beyond the borders of my a4 size document, i would have made an array but it is a fraction (i hope that is the correct term to use)


the code as it is:

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}
Var(Y) = \frac{(\frac{1}{4} (\sqrt{E(Y)^2+6*E(Y)+1}+E(Y)-1))^2 (2 (\frac{1}{4} (\sqrt{E(Y)^2+6*E(Y)+1}+E(Y)-1))^2 +4 (\frac{1}{4} (\sqrt{E(Y)^2+6*E(Y)+1}+E(Y)-1)) +1)}{((\frac{1}{4} (\sqrt{E(Y)^2+6*E(Y)+1}+E(Y)-1))+1)^2}
\label{variansgamma}
\end{equation}

Any ideas guys :) ?

I ended up rewritting the equation has two products instead and then using the "split" solution :)
