R0069-35126 · q-20260930-r05-sequence-prefix-0001

Original question and givens

The real sequence is indexed from 0 with a_n=(-12)+(-3)n. List the prefix [a_0,…,a_(L-1)] of length L=0; use [] when L=0.

  • G001 — The real sequence is indexed from 0 with a_n=(-12)+(-3)n. List the prefix [a_0,…,a_(L-1)] of length L=0; use [] when L=0.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source roles = [qf-sequence-prefix, [L, d, operation, u]]

After

derived = [prefix, no-invented-domain]

Conditions: none

Keep EACH bank’s keys/operation/domain distinct:LDL/PULSE/function legacy table underscores,TREE full tree_* with its declared domain,and permissive BASE signed without invented op/domain.All arithmetic respects the binary-primitive contract.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: R69_SOURCE_specific_keys_operation_domain_AND_binary_contract · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [-12, -3, 0, prefix]

After

derived = [a_0=u, a_n=u+n*d, zero based]

Conditions: none

Type ALL RAW u/d/count fields EVEN for prefix L=0.Indices start at0 and the formula/recurrence is GIVEN;do not infer a general rule from finite samples.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Sequence_ALL_RAW_initial_step_and_count_EVEN_empty_prefix · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

source roles = [-12, -3, 0]

After

derived = [[], []]

Conditions: none

Take EXACTLY L terms in index order from a0 through a_(L−1),NOT through aL.L=0 displays[].The GIVEN formula determines these terms;the prefix alone need not determine an unknown rule.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Sequence_PREFIX_EXACT_length_L_indices0_to_Lminus1 · Uses: G001, S002

Result

[]

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
