Original question and givens

Integer polynomials have ascending coefficients f=[-4], constant term first. For c=-1, give the complete ascending coefficients of f(x+c), not merely a value at one point.

  • G001 — Integer polynomials have ascending coefficients f=[-4], constant term first. For c=-1, give the complete ascending coefficients of f(x+c), not merely a value at one point.

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=[-4]

After

coefficient k multiplies x^k;keep all required degrees

Conditions: none

Coefficients are in ascending powers with the constant at index0.Full coefficient operations are not identities inferred from one-point agreement;retain the original coefficient list.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: ascending_polynomial_identity · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

term -4(x+(-1))^0

After

expand (-4)·Σ_j C(0,j)x^j(-1)^(0−j)

Conditions: none

Retain the original coefficient during binomial expansion and collect each resulting power j;translation does not merely change the constant coefficient.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: shifted_power_binomial_identity · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

(-1)^0

After

shift power0,0 = 1

Conditions: none

Evaluate the finite nonnegative-integer power exactly; exponent0 uses the polynomial multiplicative identity.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: integer_power · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

shift scaled binomial0,0 := mul(-4, 1)

After

shift scaled binomial0,0 = -4

Conditions: none

Multiply this term's coefficient by its binomial coefficient.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · calculation

Before

shift contribution0,0 := mul(-4, 1)

After

shift contribution0,0 = -4

Conditions: none

Multiply by c^(k−j) to obtain the contribution to x^j.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · calculation

Before

shift coefficient0 := sum(-4)

After

shift coefficient0 = -4

Conditions: none

Add all contributions to the same power.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · implies

Before

[-4]

After

canonical ascending coefficient list

Conditions: none

The result is the full coefficient identity for f(x+c);constant and zero polynomials are unchanged by translation.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: polynomial_shift_coefficients · Uses: G001, S006

Reverse checks

  • S007 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute shift coefficient0 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute shift contribution0,0 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute shift scaled binomial0,0 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

[-4]

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