Original question and givens

In one equal-unit orthogonal Euclidean plane, L2 is the nonnegative distance from the common origin to each vector. The vectors are [[7, -1], [8, 3]] in order. Give their two squared L2 distances.

  • G001 — In one equal-unit orthogonal Euclidean plane, L2 is the nonnegative distance from the common origin to each vector. The vectors are [[7, -1], [8, 3]] in order. Give their two squared L2 distances.

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

integer vectors from a common origin;orthogonal equal-length units

After

L2(v)≥0 and L2(v)²=v₁²+v₂²

Conditions: none

A common origin,orthogonality and equal units support the sum-of-squares formula;coordinates may be negative but distances may not.

Reverse checks

  • S007 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute vector2 L2 squared with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute vector2 coordinate2 squared with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute vector2 coordinate1 squared with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute vector1 L2 squared with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute vector1 coordinate2 squared with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute vector1 coordinate1 squared 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

(50, 73)

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