Original question and givens

N is indexed from 0; this is an explicitly finite induction protocol, not a universal proof. a(0)=-2, a(k+1)=a(k)+(-2), through=3. List a(0) through a(through), inclusive.

  • G001 — N is indexed from 0; this is an explicitly finite induction protocol, not a universal proof. a(0)=-2, a(k+1)=a(k)+(-2), through=3. List a(0) through a(through), inclusive.

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

natural indices start at0;finite induction protocol

After

index bookkeeping and finite values are not proofs of all P(n)

Conditions: none

Natural indices do not require nonnegative sequence values.Checking a finite range or a successor index does not supply proposition truth or an induction proof over all naturals.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: finite_induction_claim_boundary · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

a(0)=-2;through=3

After

[-2]

Conditions: none

Start with the supplied initial value;through=0 retains only it.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: recurrence_prefix_base · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

recurrence next value1 := sum(-2, -2)

After

recurrence next value1 = -4

Conditions: none

Add the declared d to the previous value;negative increments or terms are allowed.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

a(0)=-2;d=-2

After

a(1)=-4

Conditions: none

Each step uses the latest preceding term,not the initial value again;this constructs the requested finite prefix.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: finite_recurrence_transition · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · calculation

Before

recurrence next value2 := sum(-4, -2)

After

recurrence next value2 = -6

Conditions: none

Add the declared d to the previous value;negative increments or terms are allowed.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

a(1)=-4;d=-2

After

a(2)=-6

Conditions: none

Each step uses the latest preceding term,not the initial value again;this constructs the requested finite prefix.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: finite_recurrence_transition · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · calculation

Before

recurrence next value3 := sum(-6, -2)

After

recurrence next value3 = -8

Conditions: none

Add the declared d to the previous value;negative increments or terms are allowed.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S006

S008 · implies

Before

a(2)=-6;d=-2

After

a(3)=-8

Conditions: none

Each step uses the latest preceding term,not the initial value again;this constructs the requested finite prefix.

Reverse checks

  • S008 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S007 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute recurrence next value3 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute recurrence next value2 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute recurrence next value1 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • 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

[-2, -4, -6, -8]

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