Fractions and automatically scaled Brackets

Post by latexhelp1 »

How do you include brackets, [] with fractions, so that they are the same size? Currently, the brackets are smaller than the fraction, and I would like for the two to be the same:

Code: Select all

[\frac{1}{2}]
I would very much appreciate your help!

Use \left and \right for delimiters with automatic size:

Code: Select all

\left[\frac{1}{2}\right]
