\approxcolon

The \approxcolon symbol is used to denote an approximate relation or equivalence between two mathematical expressions. It is often used in mathematical contexts where precision is not exact, but a close approximation is sufficient.

Examples

a \approx : b

Indicates that 'a' is approximately equal to 'b'.

a \approxcolon b

f (x) \approx : g (x)

Shows that the function f(x) is approximately equal to g(x) over a certain range.

f(x) \approxcolon g(x)

x^{2} + y^{2} \approx : z^{2}

Represents an approximate relation in a geometric context, such as in a nearly right triangle.

x^2 + y^2 \approxcolon z^2
