Yes,

I am having trouble converting markdown to html when I have mathjax in the 
markdown document.

Here is the source of the markdown

I find this an easy way to post information for students.

<script type="text/javascript" async
  src=
"https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.5/latest.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML"
>
  </script>
<p>
\(  {x = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}} \)
</p>



Here is the syntax I use:

pandoc --mathjax Math2.md -o Math2md.html

Here is what I get:

If I look at source the javascript is there it is the 

If I save the same document in wiki format and run

pandoc --mathjax Math2.wiki -o Math2wiki.html

The page renders correctly.

Is there a different command line switch I should use when converting from 
markdown or something I need to add to the markdown?

Thanks

Script elements don't get considered as Markdown, and I think that's 
dropping you out here.  What you need is to make it explicit that the 
block is HTML, using a raw_attribute block:

\(  {x = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}} \)
