Text Formatting ⇒ Formatting with fractions

[MathDoodler]

Hello, I am new to the forums and to latex. I am trying to do something like I created below

$\stackrel{ \;\;\;\frac{a}{t}}{\stackrel{+\frac{a}{t}}{ \line(1,0){50}}}

What I am trying to do is place the + sign to the left and just have the fraction centered. Thank you and please let me know if this can be done or not and if it can be done would you please show me how it can be done. Thank you and I really appreciate all the help.

Hi,

welcome to the board!
For me it's not clear what you try to achieve. If the + shall be left, use it at the beginning of the expression. And it's not clear if you mean vertical or horizontal centering. Perhaps attach a hand drawing of that expression here, and we show you how to code that.

Hello and thank you to the fast reply. The following is an image of what I am trying to do. It is not a really good image but it will show you what I am trying to do.

In my code I get close to this but the bottom fraction and the + sign is next to each other and I want to make the + sign move toward the left and the fractions to be center of the line. Thank you once again.

I solved it by playing around with my code. Just had to add a few spaces.

I would use a table, like this:

Code: Select all

\begin{tabular}{cc}
  {} & $\frac{a}{t}$\\[4pt]
   + & $\frac{a}{t}$\\[4pt]
  \hline
\end{tabular}

Thank you for the help. I will give this code a try. Thank you all.

Yes the code worked great. Is there anyway to make the \hline move up a little closer to the + sign and the bottom fractions? If not that is ok because the code here is great. Thank you.

Hello thanks to you all for the help.I got the + sign to move down closer to the the \hline by using a \parbox. Thank you once again.
