Question 4022: Candidate Sign and Squared-Distance Defect

Original question and givens

In one equal-unit orthogonal Euclidean plane, L2 is the nonnegative distance from the common origin to each vector. Vector=[21, 22], integer candidate c=-24. Give (is c nonnegative?, c²−L2²). The first field tests only sign, not full distance eligibility.

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

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

L2(v)≥0 and L2(v)²=v₁²+v₂²

candidate vector coordinate1 squared := square(21)

candidate vector coordinate1 squared = 441

candidate vector coordinate2 squared := square(22)

candidate vector coordinate2 squared = 484

candidate vector L2 squared := sum(441, 484)

candidate vector L2 squared = 925

candidate squared := square(-24)

candidate squared = 576

signed square defect := sub(576, 925)

signed square defect = -349

c=-24;c≥0=No;c²−L2²=-349

Result

(No, -349)

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