Integral with fraction and square root produces wrong vertical alignment












3














This code produces an ankward vertical alignment which involves the integral symbol and the fraction with the square root at the denominator. Why? How can I fix this?



documentclass[a4paper]{article}

usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage{amssymb}
usepackage{amsthm}
usepackage{mathtools}

begin{document}
[
int_{x_0}^{x(t)} ! ! ! frac{1}{sqrt{frac{2}{m}bigl
(E_0-V(x)bigr)}} , dx = t-t_0
]
end{document}

  • I've also tried using the "bigints" package to get a bigger integral symbol, but it doesn't do the job, in fact the symbol won't get aligned properly anyway... Answering TeXnician: the integral symbol should be vertically aligned with the square root symbol at the denominator.

    If it was not for the negative spaces and the non-upright differential d, I'd agree with @egreg.

That's how it's supposed to be typeset.



Growing the integral symbol is out of the question, in my opinion. Moving it down is similarly disgraceful.

    I probably would do



    documentclass[a4paper]{article}
    usepackage{amsmath}

    begin{document}
    [
    intlimits_{x_0}^{x(t)} frac{1}{sqrt{frac{2}{m}bigl
    (E_0-V(xi)bigr)}} , mathrm{d}xi = t-t_0
    ]
    end{document}


    enter image description here



    to avoid confusion between the upper limit of the integral, x(t), and the integration variable as well between some quantity d (like a diameter, say) and the differential d. intlimits makes the integral symbol look higher.

      As marmot suggested, I tried using the scalerel package and I like the outcome. It's not perfect, but I think it's acceptable. The integral symbol is finally aligned with the bottom of the fraction.

                          As marmot suggested, I tried using the scalerel package and I like the outcome. It's not perfect, but I think it's acceptable. The integral symbol is finally aligned with the bottom of the fraction.
