Original question and givens

Use ordered integer two-component vectors in one fixed standard basis; zero scalars and zero vectors are allowed. Component arithmetic is not an inner product or length. u=[7, 1], v=[1, 17], a=2, b=-1. Give (a*u, b*v, a*u+b*v) in that order.

  • G001 — Use ordered integer two-component vectors in one fixed standard basis; zero scalars and zero vectors are allowed. Component arithmetic is not an inner product or length. u=[7, 1], v=[1, 17], a=2, b=-1. Give (a*u, b*v, a*u+b*v) in that order.

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

fixed standard basis;two ordered integer coordinates

After

componentwise operations;not length or inner product

Conditions: none

Work coordinate by coordinate in the same fixed basis.Swapping coordinates,taking a norm or computing an inner product is not the requested vector answer.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: ordered_vector_scope · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

au[0] := mul(2, 7)

After

au[0] = 14

Conditions: none

Multiply the specified scalar and component at this position;do not substitute an inner product or entrywise matrix product.

S003 · calculation

Before

au[1] := mul(2, 1)

After

au[1] = 2

Conditions: none

Multiply the specified scalar and component at this position;do not substitute an inner product or entrywise matrix product.

S004 · calculation

Before

bv[0] := mul(-1, 1)

After

bv[0] = -1

Conditions: none

Multiply the specified scalar and component at this position;do not substitute an inner product or entrywise matrix product.

S005 · calculation

Before

bv[1] := mul(-1, 17)

After

bv[1] = -17

Conditions: none

Multiply the specified scalar and component at this position;do not substitute an inner product or entrywise matrix product.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · calculation

Before

au+bv[0] := sum(14, -1)

After

au+bv[0] = 13

Conditions: none

Add the already aligned component or position,without mixing coordinates.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · calculation

Before

au+bv[1] := sum(2, -17)

After

au+bv[1] = -15

Conditions: none

Add the already aligned component or position,without mixing coordinates.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S006

S008 · implies

Before

au=[14, 2];bv=[-1, -17]

After

value=[13, -15]

Conditions: none

Each weight multiplies its own vector before aligned coordinates are added.Negative weights and the zero vector use the same definition.

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 au+bv[1] with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute au+bv[0] with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute bv[1] with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute bv[0] with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute au[1] with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute au[0] 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

([14, 2], [-1, -17], [13, -15])

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