My code
$\begin{align}
y & = \sqrt{\frac{x^3}{2}}\\
& = \left(frac{x^3}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\\
& = \frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}}{2}\\
\end{align}$
Whenever I try run this code the align command does not work
Can someone please explain what I need to do??

$\begin{align}
y & = \sqrt{\frac{x^3}{2}}\\
& = \left(frac{x^3}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\\
& = \frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}}{2}\\
\end{align}$
```Compilation error:```! Package amsmath Error: \begin{align} allowed only in paragraph mode.

This is what pops up

You need not be in math mode to use align, and you are missing delimiters for second and third line

You need not be in math mode to use align, and you are missing delimiters for se...
So what do u mean by delimiters??
And also how do I go into paragraph mode then??
storm stag
by not entering math mode

Notice how I didn't do $ ... $?

by not entering math mode
Yh
storm stag
What's Yh?
latent barn
Notice how I didn't do `$ ... $`?
So how wld I type my code instead cz texit won't respond no?
storm stag
Huh

\begin{align}
y & = \sqrt{\frac{x^3}{2}}\

I suspect you have forgotten a `}', causing me
to read past where you wanted me to stop.
I'll try to recover; but if the error is serious,
you'd better type `E' or `X' now and fix your file.```

fantastic.
latent barn
Yup that's what I wanted
storm stag
We will consider this post solved
latent barn
Also 1 more qn
storm stag
Yes?
storm stag
If you use align environment as is, yes.
If you don't want those numbers, use the starred version, align*
latent barn
So what wld u recommend instead
storm stag
\section*{Numbered}
\begin{align}
y & = \sqrt{\frac{x^3}{2}}\\
& = \left(\frac{x^3}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\\
& = \frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{2}
\end{align}
\section*{No numbering}
\begin{align*}
y & = \sqrt{\frac{x^3}{2}}\\
& = \left(\frac{x^3}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\\
& = \frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{2}
\end{align*}
latent barn
Like this \align* ??
storm stag
I don't recall using a macro called \align.
latent barn
What?
storm stag
make sure your \end also matches the content in your \begin

Please stop randomly stripping vowels from your words, I'm having trouble comprehending
latent barn
Ok sorry 😅
storm stag
Thank you
and yes, try it out yourself and see the difference between align and align* environment
latent barn
I usually chat like this so Im pretty used to; to people understanding this
latent barn
and yes, try it out yourself and see the difference between `align` and `align*`...
Thanks a ton for your help
