Here is the code in question (1+x^3)=\left(1+\frac{1}{\frac1{x^3}}\right)
:
$$(1+x^3)=\left(1+\frac{1}{\frac1{x^3}}\right)$$
For some reason, mathematics renders perfectly on math.meta for me, but not on the main site. (If only it was the other way round...) Is it the same for you? In any case, a sub-question from the comments:
how to better write a formula without this cropping
There is a way to force a formula to have more vertical space, by placing \Rule{A px}{B em}{C em}
at the end. Then, the cropped part of the image will just be white-space, which I would say is more acceptable. Here, A
is the horizontal thickness, B
is the length of the rule above the baseline, and C
is the length below the baseline.
For instance (1+x^3)=\left(1+\frac{1}{\frac1{x^3}}\right)\Rule{20 px}{3 em}{0 em}\Rule{20 px}{0 em}{5 em}
:
$$(1+x^3)=\left(1+\frac{1}{\frac1{x^3}}\right)\Rule{20 px}{3 em}{0 em}\Rule{20 px}{0 em}{5 em}$$
If you put 0
for the first input, then the rule takes no horizontal space but the bounding box is increased, e.g.
$$\bbox[green]{(1+x^3)=\left(1+\frac{1}{\frac1{x^3}}\right)\Rule{0 px}{3 em}{3 em}} \qquad \text{V.S.} \qquad \bbox[green]{(1+x^3)=\left(1+\frac{1}{\frac1{x^3}}\right)}$$
