You will get big (displaystyle) fractions if you use \dfrac rather than frac:

I have question for you since you know rules of Forum far better than I and you are "MHF Moderator": I want to learn how to use LaTeX Equation Editor and need to practice a lot. Most of the time I cannot spend long periods practicing. So, like my "practice" post of 7/10/10, I most often will just be able to do a little bit of practice at a time. What I would like to do is start a new "practice post" for each date that I am able to go online and practice with LaTeX. For instance, if this evening I have the time to go online I would like to be able to title a new post "LateX - Practice 7-12-10." The reason for this is that I like to print what I have done and keep it on file. But, I am concerned that in practicing in this manner I will have a lot of small posts on the Forum that might, somehow, take up to much "space" on the Forum. I don't want to do anything "wrong" here, in the Forum, if at all possible.
My question is this: Is it alright to practice as I have indicated in above paragraph? Or, is it against the Forum rules and/or etiquette to do it that way, where I might end up posting a lot but with each practice post being of relatively short length? Is there a "better" way to practice when one has limited duration of time at any one time? I would appreciate your guidence regarding this matter.
(Note: I have edited my original post using the \dfrac command. And, I have also changed the position of the minus sign in the last formua entry to more accurately reflect the Standard Form.)

novice: As time permits, I am trying to review as many of the past posts as possible in the LaTeX Help Section. In doing so, I found "www.codecogs.com/latex/. . . ." and I have put it on my IE "Favorites" toolbar already. I also found several other Websites that I can go to, then download and print all of the LaTeX commands. Having a printed reference by my keyboard when I'm using LaTeX will be invaluable! But, thank you very much for taking the time to help a "newbie" -- new to MHF, new to LaTeX, and in (too) many ways, new to Mathematics.
CB: Than I shall. And, I will not put in that "Note" at the beginning of posts. After I did it, I realized it was superfluous (or is "stupid" a better term?!). In other words, I will "expect comments" -- and I will welcome them.
One of the things you should know without thinking is that for any complex number[B]
(with
and
real):
It is the reason you have multiplied top and bottom by the conjugate of the denominator (that is to move all the imaginaries to the numerator). Also when I say "know without thinking" I mean once you have seen the product expanded and simplified and the relationship to the difference of two squares pointed out you should always in future take the short cut:
