R0001-01151 · q-20261003-r05-linear-function-0051

Original question and givens

Over R, f(x)=(0)x+(0). Find its complete zero set, using R, ∅, or a set of reduced rational numbers.

  • G001 — Over R, f(x)=(0)x+(0). Find its complete zero set, using R, ∅, or a set of reduced rational numbers.

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

f:R→R; f(x)=mx+b

After

m=0 gives a constant affine function

Conditions: none

An affine function allows m=0; do not impose the nondegenerate-equation condition on every affine function.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: affine_domain · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

0x+(0)=0

After

m≠0: No

Conditions: none

Check whether division by m is allowed; classify constant functions separately.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: zero_set_case · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

0x+(0)=0

After

constant equation true: Yes

Conditions: none

If the constant is0 every real is a zero; otherwise there is no zero.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: constant_zero_equation · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

constant equation independent of x

After

zero set=R

Conditions: none

This concerns all reals or the empty set, not just sampled inputs.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: complete_real_zero_set · Uses: G001, S003

Reverse checks

  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

R

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