Original question and givens

On all R, f has ascending coefficients [1, 1, 3, 2], constant term first and g has ascending coefficients [-1, 1, 1, 1], constant term first. Give the complete normalized ascending integer coefficients of (f+g)′.

  • G001 — On all R, f has ascending coefficients [1, 1, 3, 2], constant term first and g has ascending coefficients [-1, 1, 1, 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=[1, 1, 3, 2]

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.

S002 · calculation

Before

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

After

f′ coefficient at degree0 = 1

S011 · implies

Before

[2, 8, 9]

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.
