Original question and givens

Use one equal-unit orthonormal Euclidean Cartesian frame. The circle boundary has center O=(-1, -6) and radius r=10≥0. Classify P=(10, -5) as inside, on boundary, or outside.

  • G001 — Use one equal-unit orthonormal Euclidean Cartesian frame. The circle boundary has center O=(-1, -6) and radius r=10≥0. Classify P=(10, -5) as inside, on boundary, or outside.

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

orthonormal equal-length units;r=10≥0

After

C={P:distance(P,O)=r} is a boundary,not a filled disk

Conditions: none

The circle is the boundary at distance exactly r from the center,not the filled disk.For r=0 use the degenerate singleton{O},with no inside points and diameter length0.

S002 · calculation

Before

radius squared := square(10)

After

radius squared = 100

Conditions: none

The square of the nonnegative radius is the distance-comparison threshold.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

coordinate difference0 := sub(10, -1)

After

coordinate difference0 = 11

Conditions: none

Subtract the center coordinate from the point coordinate;do not square absolute coordinates instead.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

coordinate square0 := square(11)

After

coordinate square0 = 121

Conditions: none

Square this coordinate difference;a negative difference still contributes a nonnegative square.

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · calculation

Before

coordinate difference1 := sub(-5, -6)

After

coordinate difference1 = 1

Conditions: none

Subtract the center coordinate from the point coordinate;do not square absolute coordinates instead.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · calculation

Before

coordinate square1 := square(1)

After

coordinate square1 = 1

Conditions: none

Square this coordinate difference;a negative difference still contributes a nonnegative square.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · calculation

Before

squared distance := sum(121, 1)

After

squared distance = 122

Conditions: none

In an orthonormal equal-unit frame,the Pythagorean relation adds the squared differences.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S006

S008 · implies

Before

d²=122;r²=100

After

requested classification=outside

Conditions: none

Distance and radius are nonnegative,so squaring preserves their order.Equality means boundary,strictly smaller means inside,and larger means outside.No rounded square root is needed.
