Original question and givens

On all R, f has ascending coefficients [-6, 3, 7, -1], constant term first. For r=2≥0, give (is f odd?,I(f,−r,r)) as Yes/No followed by its exact signed polynomial moment. Use reduced positive-denominator fractions, retaining /1 for integers.

  • G001 — On all R, f has ascending coefficients [-6, 3, 7, -1], constant term first. For r=2≥0, give (is f odd?,I(f,−r,r)) as Yes/No followed by its exact signed polynomial moment. Use reduced positive-denominator fractions, retaining /1 for integers.

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.
