Original question and givens

On all R, f has ascending coefficients [6, 19, -1, 3], starting with its constant term. The candidate F has ascending rational coefficient pairs [[5, 1], [6, 1], [19, 2], [-1, 3], [3, 4]], with positive denominators. Is F′=f as a coefficient identity?

  • G001 — On all R, f has ascending coefficients [6, 19, -1, 3], starting with its constant term. The candidate F has ascending rational coefficient pairs [[5, 1], [6, 1], [19, 2], [-1, 3], [3, 4]], with positive denominators. Is F′=f as a coefficient identity?

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

candidate F coefficients=[5, 6, 19/2, -1/3, 3/4]

After

target f coefficients=[6, 19, -1, 3]

Conditions: none

A candidate may contain any constant,which disappears under differentiation.

Reverse checks

  • S008 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S007 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute candidate derivative coefficient3 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute candidate derivative coefficient2 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute candidate derivative coefficient1 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute candidate derivative coefficient0 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.

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

Result

Yes

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