A simple major triad is symbolized by the root (letter name) only; the other components expand the symbol to represent a multitude of sonorities.
This symbol represents a 7-tone sonority -- a major triad with the 3rd in the bass, a major 7th, an implied 9th, an augmented 11th and a 13th.
The worst offense of all is using the slashed 7 to represent a major 7th chord.

For example, the A minor triad consists of A, C, and E. You may have noticed that the general rule for major and minor triads is that you use the first, third, and fifth degrees of the major/minor scale (major for the major triad, minor for the minor triad).
For example, the G major triad may simply be referred to as G. Minor triads are notated in lowercase (A minor becomes a) or are uppercase followed by a lowercase m (A minor could be Am).
Thus, a C major triad in first inversion is E, G, and C. Second Inversion is when the fifth is “moved” from the top to the bottom of the triad so that the chord starts on the fifth degree.
