Limes with Conditions direct underneath in in-line Math Mode

Post by latexhelp1 »

How do you write a limit with the term directly underneath it rather than to the bottom right?

For example, if I want to take the limit of a function a t approaches 0 of X, I want the t ->0 to be directly below 0. However, I can only get it to be to the bottom right:

Code: Select all

$\lim_{t \to 0} X 
I'd very much appreciate any help you can provide!

You could use \limits, for example:

Code: Select all

$\lim\limits_{t \to 0} X$
Or switch to display style:

Code: Select all

$\displaystyle\lim_{t \to 0} X$
