Original question and givens

On all R, f has ascending coefficients [9, 22, -1, 2], starting with its constant term. Give ascending reduced positive-denominator rational coefficients of the zero-constant primitive, removing trailing zero terms.

  • G001 — On all R, f has ascending coefficients [9, 22, -1, 2], starting with its constant term. Give ascending reduced positive-denominator rational coefficients of the zero-constant primitive, removing trailing zero terms.

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.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: polynomial_representation · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

f coefficients ascending=[9, 22, -1, 2]

After

seek F₀ with constant coefficient0 and F₀′=f

Conditions: none

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