rparen
Represents a right (closing) parenthesis symbol, used for mathematical grouping and function notation.
Overview
Essential for mathematical notation and expression formatting, providing a standardized way to create closing parentheses in mathematical contexts.
- Commonly paired with \lparen for complete parenthetical expressions
- Used in function notation, set theory, and algebraic grouping
- Particularly useful in displayed mathematics where standard keyboard parentheses may not scale properly
- Ensures consistent sizing and spacing in mathematical expressions, especially when working with delimiters
Examples
Right parenthesis in a multi-line equation system with alignment
\begin{align*} f(x) &= (x + 2\rparen^2 \\ g(x) &= (x - 3\rparen^3 \end{align*}
