Original question and givens

Use exact rational absolute values embedded in R; negative representation denominators are normalized before deciding signs. Ordered points=[0/1, 11/2, 12/2]. Give (d01, d12, d02, d01+d12−d02). Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.

G001 — Use exact rational absolute values embedded in R; negative representation denominators are normalized before deciding signs. Ordered points=[0/1, 11/2, 12/2]. Give (d01, d12, d02, d01+d12−d02). Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.

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.
