Original question and givens

On all R, f has ascending coefficients [2, 1], constant term first and g has ascending coefficients [-4, -1], constant term first. Give the complete normalized ascending integer coefficients of (f+g)′.

  • G001 — On all R, f has ascending coefficients [2, 1], constant term first and g has ascending coefficients [-4, -1], constant term first. Give the complete normalized ascending integer coefficients of (f+g)′.

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

f ascending coefficients=[2, 1]

After

real polynomials are differentiable;use coefficient identities

Conditions: none

Coefficient k multiplies x^k;real polynomials differentiate termwise and constants have derivative0.Coefficient identities and a candidate comparison at one point are different claims.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: polynomial_derivative_premise · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

f′ coefficient at degree0 := mul(1, 1)

After

f′ coefficient at degree0 = 1

Conditions: none

Multiply by the original degree and lower it by1;the constant term differentiates to0.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

g′ coefficient at degree0 := mul(1, -1)

After

g′ coefficient at degree0 = -1

Conditions: none

Multiply by the original degree and lower it by1;the constant term differentiates to0.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

sum derivative coefficient0 := sum(1, -1)

After

sum derivative coefficient0 = 0

Conditions: none

Add derivative coefficients of the same degree,using0 for a missing high-degree term.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

[0]

After

complete derivative coefficient identity;zero polynomial=[0]

Conditions: none

The sum rule gives(f+g)′=f′+g′.Removing trailing zeros preserves the polynomial;retain[0] for zero.This is not coefficient inference from a few sample points.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: sum_rule_coefficient_identity · Uses: G001, S004

Reverse checks

  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute sum derivative coefficient0 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute g′ coefficient at degree0 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute f′ coefficient at degree0 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

[0]

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