\mpThe \mp operator represents the 'minus-plus' symbol, which is used to indicate a pair of values, one obtained by adding and the other by subtracting a certain quantity. It is often used in mathematical expressions where two possible values are considered, such as in solutions to equations or in error margins.
Represents two possible values for x: 5 + 2 and 5 - 2.
x = 5 \mp 2Indicates two potential values for y: 10 + sqrt(3) and 10 - sqrt(3).
y = 10 \mp \sqrt{3}Shows that z can be either a + b or a - b, depending on the context.
z = a \mp b
