R0067-34214 · q-20261003-r02-polynomial-0089

Original question and givens

In Q[x], coefficient vectors are ordered from lowest to highest power. Add [1, 2] and [-1]. Return the coefficient vector with trailing zeros removed, representing the zero polynomial by [0].

  • G001 — In Q[x], coefficient vectors are ordered from lowest to highest power. Add [1, 2] and [-1]. Return the coefficient vector with trailing zeros removed, representing the zero polynomial by [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-polynomial-addition, [left, operation, right]]

After

derived = [add, no-invented-domain]

Conditions: none

Check THIS bank’s keys/operation/domain:legacy table underscores,MOD50 local hyphens;permissive BASE data acquires no unknown-field restriction.Keep Number.isInteger and SAFE source guards distinct,while preserving ORIGINAL JSON number representations.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: R67_SOURCE_specific_keys_operation_domain_and_numeric_bank · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [left ORIGINAL, [1, 2]]

After

derived = [[1, 2], [1, 2]]

Conditions: none

In Q[x],coefficients run from low to high degree.Type EVERY RAW SAFE cell of a0..32-entry list,including trailing zeros.Trim ONLY trailing zeros,not internal zeros.The zero polynomial has empty internal support but displays[0];keep the ORIGINAL source vector unchanged.

S003 · implies

Before

source roles = [right ORIGINAL, [-1]]

After

derived = [[-1], [-1]]

Conditions: none

In Q[x],coefficients run from low to high degree.Type EVERY RAW SAFE cell of a0..32-entry list,including trailing zeros.Trim ONLY trailing zeros,not internal zeros.The zero polynomial has empty internal support but displays[0];keep the ORIGINAL source vector unchanged.

S004 · calculation

Before

Polynomial ORIGINAL matching-power coefficient0 := sum(1, -1)

After

Polynomial ORIGINAL matching-power coefficient0 = 0

Conditions: none

Calculate exactly from ORIGINAL ordered operands.Legacy derived integers are not recapped at the RAW SAFE bound;MOD50 rationals separately retain the NAIVE pre-reduction source envelope.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · calculation

Before

Polynomial ORIGINAL matching-power coefficient1 := sum(2, 0)

After

Polynomial ORIGINAL matching-power coefficient1 = 2

Conditions: none

Calculate exactly from ORIGINAL ordered operands.Legacy derived integers are not recapped at the RAW SAFE bound;MOD50 rationals separately retain the NAIVE pre-reduction source envelope.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

source roles = [[1, 2], [-1]]

After

derived = [[0, 2], [0, 2]]

Conditions: none

Add EVERY matching power,using0 only outside support,THEN trim trailing zeros.Full cancellation displays[0].ALL coefficients determine the polynomial sum,not one sampled value.Derived coefficient sums may exceed RAW SAFE.
