Original question and givens

The real sequence is indexed from 0 with a_n=(7)+(2)n. List the prefix [a_0,…,a_(L-1)] of length L=4; use [] when L=0.

  • G001 — The real sequence is indexed from 0 with a_n=(7)+(2)n. List the prefix [a_0,…,a_(L-1)] of length L=4; 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.

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [7, 2, 4, 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.

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.
