Original question and givens

On all R, f(x)=(5)x^4, with 0≤n≤5 and x^0=1 even at zero. Give ascending reduced rational coefficients of its zero-constant primitive.

  • G001 — On all R, f(x)=(5)x^4, with 0≤n≤5 and x^0=1 even at zero. Give ascending reduced rational coefficients of its zero-constant primitive.

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

domain=R; coefficient lists are in ascending powers

After

constant term first; rational pairs=[numerator,denominator]

Conditions: none

Fix coefficient order;do not read ascending coefficients as descending or swap numerator and denominator.

S002 · implies

Before

f coefficients ascending=[0, 0, 0, 0, 5]

After

seek F₀ with constant coefficient0 and F₀′=f

Conditions: none

Antiderivatives are not generally unique; this task additionally fixes the constant coefficient at0.
