C-u is a "universal" prefix, or argument, i.e., it can mean different  
things in each case it is used. So leave it away and try

        C-h k C-x =

For C-x = it just makes the function create more and detailed output.

The recent ones are.

Visit a TeX or LaTeX or ConTeXt file and look at the menus. The TeX  
or LaTeX menu will have some AUCTeX entries.

You can extend load-path (the Emacs variable) to search for the  
AUCTeX and Preview ELisp files inside the Carbon Emacs bundle. Or you  
can install AUCTeX. And extend load-path, too. The lines

  (load "auctex.el" nil t t)
  (load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)

in some init file would be needed. Best read the AUCTeX (and Preview)  
manual(s) from Carbon Emacs.
