Original question and givens

Use one equal-unit orthonormal Euclidean Cartesian frame. For the origin-centered map H(P)=(-5)P on all of R², classify the whole-plane map as a degenerate constant map, whole-plane isometry, or non-isometric similarity, retaining the positive length scale in the last case.

  • G001 — Use one equal-unit orthonormal Euclidean Cartesian frame. For the origin-centered map H(P)=(-5)P on all of R², classify the whole-plane map as a degenerate constant map, whole-plane isometry, or non-isometric similarity, retaining the positive length scale in the last case.

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-transform-uniform-scale-class, uniform_scale_class]

After

derived = [[WHOLEplane_map_class_label_positive_length_scale]]

Conditions: none

Follow THIS bank exact keys,domain/frame,operation and answer role.STR22/App20 tuples differ from legacy scalars;retain or omit/1 by the ORIGINAL contract,not a generic visual convention.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: R58_EXACT_source_interface_and_answer_ROLE · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [-5, euclidean_orthonormal_equal_units]

After

derived = [5, ||cP-cQ||=|c|*||P-Q||, similarity that is not an isometry;scale factor=5]

Conditions: none

For ANY P,Q,the difference scales by c,its squared norm by c²,and the distance by|c|.At0 the whole plane collapses to the origin;|c|=1 preserves ALL distances;other nonzero c gives positive scale|c| but not isometry for distinct points.One coincident pair is not a global certificate;c=-1 is an origin180-degree rotation,not a line reflection.

Reverse checks

  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check EACH original datum,index,direction,representative and premise,not only the answer.Exact candidate checking,independent review,formal proof and publication clearance remain separate.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check EACH original datum,index,direction,representative and premise,not only the answer.Exact candidate checking,independent review,formal proof and publication clearance remain separate.

Result

non-isometric similarity; scale=5

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