Align sign with numerator












2















I have an equation for which I would like the sign to be aligned with the numerator without being a part of it. As a rough example,



[ - frac{sqrt{3qtimes r^2}}{y times z} ]


produces



fraction with minus sign aligned with middle of fraction



but I would prefer



fraction with minus sign aligned with numerator




Rationale: While, in the example above, the default layout is actually better, in my actual document the relevant fraction is coming after a new line and the minus sign is easy to miss. Moving it up to the level of the numerator would make it more conspicuous.

    frac{-sqrt{3qtimes r^2}}{y times z} is more mathematically true.

  • @JouleV Absolutely! Unfortunately, my example above is meant to be indicative of my problem without containing too much unecessary clutter, and (while a good representation of the question I'm asking) is maybe not a good representation of my actual maths.

    @JouleV more mathematically true? What does that mean?

  • @JPi I meant that it is true and the OP's is false. But as the OP wants to have the wrong one, I said "more mathematically true".

  • @JouleV I agree with you in the example I gave. For what it’s worth, my imagined use case was (very roughly) a/b - x/y. In that case, I’d imagine that a/b -x/y (with the sign as part of the numerator) might risk looking like a/b times -x/y. I don’t know whether, in that case, you would agree?

I disagree with your rationale.



Anyway, the customer's always right. ;-)



Load mathtools and do



hphantom{-}frac{mathmakebox[0pt][r]{-}sqrt{3qtimes r^2}}{ytimes z}


enter image description here



There is a shorthand for mathmakebox[0pt][r]{...}, namely mathllap{...}.
