This teaching derivation has second-context AI mathematical and bilingual semantic review, limited to the model and assumptions stated in this question. It has no human review or new Lean proof and does not promote the original question or MKO to Canonical truth.

## Original question and givens

Over R, M=[[2, 1], [0, -3]] is 2×2, λ=4, and v=[0, 0]. Give the ordered residual Mv−λv, without assuming λ is an eigenvalue.


- G001 — Over R, M=[[2, 1], [0, -3]] is 2×2, λ=4, and v=[0, 0]. Give the ordered residual Mv−λv, without assuming λ is an eigenvalue.





## 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 · impliesBefore

[[2, 1], [0, -3]]

After

exact real2×2 matrix;no spectrum or diagonalization inferred

Conditions: none

Use the declared real2×2 matrix;coefficients,a discriminant or one candidate residual does not automatically establish the entire spectrum or diagonalizability.

S002 · calculationBefore

row1 product1 := mul(2, 0)

After

row1 product1 = 0

Conditions: none

Multiply corresponding row and vector components without interchanging row and column indices.

S003 · calculationBefore

row1 product2 := mul(1, 0)

After

row1 product2 = 0

Conditions: none

Multiply corresponding row and vector components without interchanging row and column indices.

S004 · calculationBefore

Mv coordinate1 := sum(0, 0)

After

Mv coordinate1 = 0

Conditions: none

Add the row products to obtain one component of Mv.

S005 · calculationBefore

λv coordinate1 := mul(4, 0)

After

λv coordinate1 = 0

Conditions: none

Multiply λ by the vector component at the same index.

S006 · calculationBefore

residual coordinate1 := sub(0, 0)

After

residual coordinate1 = 0

Conditions: none

Subtract λv from Mv coordinatewise;zero residual satisfies this equation.

S007 · calculationBefore

row2 product1 := mul(0, 0)

After

row2 product1 = 0

Conditions: none

Multiply corresponding row and vector components without interchanging row and column indices.

After

row2 product2 = 0

Conditions: none

Multiply corresponding row and vector components without interchanging row and column indices.

S009 · calculationBefore

Mv coordinate2 := sum(0, 0)

After

Mv coordinate2 = 0

Conditions: none

After

λv coordinate2 = 0

Conditions: none

Multiply λ by the vector component at the same index.

S011 · calculationBefore

residual coordinate2 := sub(0, 0)

After

residual coordinate2 = 0

Conditions: none

Subtract λv from Mv coordinatewise;zero residual satisfies this equation.

S012 · impliesBefore

v=[0, 0];residual=(0, 0)

After

kernel equation is not an eigenvector certificate for v=0

Conditions: none

The zero vector has zero residual for every λ;an eigenvector must additionally be nonzero,and a zero kernel residual cannot remove that premise.
