How to type the símbolo mais ou menos (±)

The quickest way is to press Copy above and paste. To type ± yourself, use the method for your device below. On Windows the alt code is Alt + 0177. On a Mac it is Option + Shift + =.

Windows

  1. Hold Alt and type 0177 on the numeric keypad, then release Alt. Num Lock must be on. This uses the Windows-1252 code page, so it works in almost every Windows app.

  3. In Word or Outlook, type 00B1 and press Alt + X. Alt + X converts the hex code before the cursor into the character, and back again.

What does ± mean?

O símbolo mais ou menos ± desempenha uma dupla função técnica em ciências exatas. Na álgebra elementar indica a coexistência de raízes positivas e negativas, como na resolução de equações do segundo grau. Na engenharia, química e controle de qualidade, define a margem de tolerância aceitável em torno de um valor medido (por exemplo, 220 ± 5 V).

Sua notação condensada poupa espaço ao unificar duas condições opostas numa única declaração matemática precisa. É muito usado ao lado do sinal de multiplicação, do símbolo de divisão e dos demais símbolos matemáticos do SymbolHub.
