Question 6188: Endpoint, Net Displacement, and Step Magnitude

Original question and givens

Integer start=0, signed steps s1=13, s2=-3. Give (endpoint, s1+s2, |s1|+|s2|).

• G001 — Integer start=0, signed steps s1=13, s2=-3. Give (endpoint, s1+s2, |s1|+|s2|).

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

declared exact integer or rational-representation protocol

retain signs,ordered operands and original index order

signed net displacement := sum(13, -3)

signed net displacement = 10

final position := sum(0, 10)

final position = 10

steps=(13,-3)

absolute step lengths=(13,3)

sum of step lengths := sum(13, 3)

sum of step lengths = 16

Reverse checks

• S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute sum of step lengths 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 final position with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
• S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute signed net displacement 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

(10, 10, 16)

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