Original question and givens

Use exact rational absolute values embedded in R; negative representation denominators are normalized before deciding signs. x=9/-3. Give (reduced x, nonnegative or negative branch, abs(x)); zero belongs to the nonnegative branch.

  • G001 — Use exact rational absolute values embedded in R; negative representation denominators are normalized before deciding signs. x=9/-3. Give (reduced x, nonnegative or negative branch, abs(x)); zero belongs to the nonnegative branch.

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

source roles = [qf-density14-absolute-rational-two-branches, density14_absolute_rational_two_branches, finite_rational_absolute_protocol]

After

derived = [[normalized_value, sign_branch, absolute_value]]

Conditions: none

Retain the ORIGINAL bank full operation prefix,domain and ordered answer roles.Use orthogonal_equal_unit only where a frame is declared,and degrees where an angle unit is declared.Integer fractions retain/1.Do not invent parameters or alter original bilingual sources.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: R59_EXACT_family_domain_FULLprefix_operation_and_answer_roles · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [Absolute input x, [9, -3]]

After

derived = [-3/1, -3, 1]

Conditions: none

Require a RAW SAFE pair with nonzero denominator.This bank ALLOWS negative denominators;normalize sign/gcd BEFORE deciding the value sign.Do not import a primitive positive-denominator rule or a STR22 component cap.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Absolute_RAW_SAFE_pair_NONZERO_den_normalize_SIGN_and_gcd · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

Absolute x ORIGINAL negative branch negation := sub(0, -3)

After

Absolute x ORIGINAL negative branch negation = 3

Conditions: none

Substitute exact ORIGINAL roles,without floating approximation.SAFE bounds raw inputs only;derived integers/rationals are unbounded and do not inherit another bank component cap.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

source roles = [Absolute x, -3]

After

derived = [No, 3]

Conditions: none

Choose the branch by the NORMALIZED value:x>=0 keeps x;for x<0 use0-x.Zero is in the nonnegative branch;do not misclassify a raw negative denominator.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Absolute_value_normalized_sign_branch_ZERO_is_nonnegative · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

source roles = [-3/1]

After

derived = [-3/1, negative, 3/1]

Conditions: none

Return normalized x,the branch LABEL chosen by its VALUE,and abs(x).Zero belongs to the nonnegative branch,and a negative denominator does not mean a negative value.This is the declared rational slice,not a new certificate for all real absolute-value properties.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Absolute_normalized_rational_value_CORRECT_branch_label · Uses: G001, S004

Reverse checks

  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check this step against the ORIGINAL data,indices and premises,without claiming the conclusion uniquely recovers the inputs.Finite exact checking,independent review,formal proof and publication clearance remain separate.

Result

(-3/1, negative, 3/1)

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