The size of the brackets can be manually set, or they can be resized dynamically in your document, as shown in the next example:
Notice that to insert the brackets, the \left

The size of the brackets can be controlled explicitly
The commands \Bigg
and \bigg
stablish the size of the delimiters <

respectively. For a complete list of parentheses and sizes see the reference guide.
