I have a page that has three big "sections," two items (in enumerate), and a note at the bottom of the page. Is there a way to get them to distribute evenly on the page without having to use all the newlines? I can't seem to find anything on the topic. \desymbol is a predefined macro. Source file is as follows:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\newcommand\desymbol{? }
\begin{document}
\section*{Phase 3}
\begin{enumerate}
\item[1.]
Find the limit and prove using the \desymbol proof.
\begin{equation*}
\lim_{x\to a}(\text{sin}(x)) =
\end{equation*}
\\

\item[2.]
Find the limit and prove using the \desymbol proof.
\begin{equation*}
\lim_{x\to a}(\text{ln}(x)) =
\end{equation*}
\\

\end{enumerate}

Best Answer
I suggest you use
\vspace{\fill}
instead of the battery of\\
directives.Please note that
\small
is not a macro that takes an argument. If you want to limit the scope of this directive, write{\small ...}
, not\small{...}
.I would also place
\end{enumerate}
directive before, not after, the second\vspace{\fill}
directive.
