base line indicator? and Continuation indicator

[smart_10357]

Hi Kyle,

I have two questions: First is there a base line indicator to tell the student that the y is not in the superscript but back to baseline?

9x⁴−24x²y−16y²

and continuation indicator: When dividing an expression say at an operation sign, do I still use a continuation indicator?

Thanks

Susan

Hi Kyle, You do not have to answer the question about the continuation indicator. I watched your webinar about it. Thank you.

But I do need to know about the base line.

Thanks

Susan,

Thank you for sharing your questions.

I compliment you on finding in NBA's archive of webinars an answer to your continuation indicator question. I trust you found a reference to the third paragraph under #4 in BANA's Provisional Guidance on Transcribing Mathematics in UEB, which says,

If you make reasonable divisions following the above guidance, the dot 5 continuation indicator mentioned in GTM 1.4 will not often be needed; the meaning or format should make it clear enough that the expression on the new line is a continuation of that on the previous line, e.g. it will typically start with a comparison or operation sign.

As for your superscript question, the y that follows a superscript 2 is not in the superscript position because the "2" is the "item" that the superscript indicator affects. In other words, according to #8 in GTM 7.1, the effect of the superscript indicator expires after the number.

Please let us know if you need anything more or different.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I read that but it was not clear to me until you posted your reply.

For fun, attached are pictures of the print and braille we're talking about as well as a BRF of the braille.
