Original question and givens

On R∖{-1}, the branch for x<a is (2)x+(-9), and for x>a is (-2)x+(10). Give (left limit,right limit), keeping the order.

  • G001 — On R∖{-1}, the branch for x<a is (2)x+(-9), and for x>a is (-2)x+(10). Give (left limit,right limit), keeping the order.

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

declared real model with an excluded center for limit data

After

point value,legal off-center evaluation and limit are distinct

Conditions: none

A punctured limit does not read the center value,and evaluation at one legal point is not a limit.These declared affine or factorizable models do not represent arbitrary functions.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: punctured_limit_scope · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

left branch slope times center := mul(2, -1)

After

left branch slope times center = -2

Conditions: none

Multiply the branch slope by the center.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

left branch limit value := sum(-2, -9)

After

left branch limit value = -11

Conditions: none

Add that branch's constant;the affine difference m(x−a) admits ε−δ control.

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

right branch slope times center := mul(-2, -1)

After

right branch slope times center = 2

Conditions: none

Multiply the branch slope by the center.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · calculation

Before

right branch limit value := sum(2, 10)

After

right branch limit value = 12

Conditions: none

Add that branch's constant;the affine difference m(x−a) admits ε−δ control.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

left limit=-11;right limit=12

After

ordered one-sided pair=(-11,12)

Conditions: none

Control each affine side with δ=ε/(1+|m|).Equal side limits give a common two-sided limit;unequal limits do not.Neither case fills a center value.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: one_sided_affine_limit_order · Uses: G001, S005

Reverse checks

  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute right branch limit value with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute right branch slope times center with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute left branch limit value with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute left branch slope times center 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

(-11, 12)

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