Interpreting an Expression

If the insertion point is placed in a mathematical expression, CTRL + ? gives Scientific Notebook's interpretation of that expression.

$\blacktriangleright$ CTRL + ?

$\dint$ ax³ = $\dint$ ax³ d?

$\dint$ x³a = $\dint$ x³a d?

$\blacktriangleright$ Evaluate

$\dint$ ax³ = ${\frac{{1}}{{4}}}$ ax⁴

$\dint$ x³a = ${\frac{{1}}{{4}}}$ ax⁴

If f is not defined as a function, then it is treated like any other letter.

$\blacktriangleright$ Evaluate

$\dint$ f = ${\frac{{1}}{{2}}}$ f²

$\dint$ f (x)dx = ${\frac{{1}}{{2}}}$ fx²

In these expressions, f behaves the same as any other variable, and f (x) is interpreted as simply the product of f and x.
