Original question and givens

Use exact rational absolute values embedded in R; negative representation denominators are normalized before deciding signs. Target r=5/2, ordered queries=[-5/2, 5/2, 7/2]. Give (is r nonnegative?, increasing roots of |x|=r, three absolute query values, three equality-to-r values).

  • G001 — Use exact rational absolute values embedded in R; negative representation denominators are normalized before deciding signs. Target r=5/2, ordered queries=[-5/2, 5/2, 7/2]. Give (is r nonnegative?, increasing roots of |x|=r, three absolute query values, three equality-to-r values).

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.
