Minor side point, I’ve never seen an x written as )( but always as / and then \ (or vice versa). I wonder if this is a regional thing ir just one person’s preference.
- Symbiote 4y agox is usually written 𝑥 in mathematics (including handwriting) to distinguish it from ×. I was taught the ")(" way at primary school.
- nautilius 4y agoJust because you use it doesn't make it in any way 'usual'. Just because you learned it in some school doesn't make it non-regional. Also, your own example "𝑥" is decidedly not of the )( form, but of the × form.
- Symbiote 4y agoYou might have read my comment more carefully before resorting to a snarky reply.
- nautilius 4y agoSorry, I mistakenly thought you replied to the post you posted your post under. My bad.
- SamBam 4y agoDoing an image search for "handwritten algebra" I find quite a few examples of ")(". "I was taught the ")(" way at primary school" is a perfectly reasonable response to your question, which wondered whether it was just one person's preference. That answer tells you it isn't. Nowhere did the reply suggest it wasn't regional, nor, for that matter, that "/ \" isn't regional. Both are presumably regional, but whether one is more common requires a fair bit of work to answer.
