This teaching derivation has second-context AI mathematical and bilingual semantic review, limited to the model and assumptions stated in this question. It has no human review or new Lean proof and does not promote the original question or MKO to Canonical truth.

## Original question and givens

Use complete nonempty integer matrices with 1–5 rows and columns and 1-based external indices. Transposition is not inversion or reversal of element order. Same-shape M=[[3], [4], [5], [6]], N=[[0], [-1], [-2], [-3]]. Give (shape of M, M+N, (M+N)ᵀ, Mᵀ+Nᵀ).


- G001 — Use complete nonempty integer matrices with 1–5 rows and columns and 1-based external indices. Transposition is not inversion or reversal of element order. Same-shape M=[[3], [4], [5], [6]], N=[[0], [-1], [-2], [-3]]. Give (shape of M, M+N, (M+N)ᵀ, Mᵀ+Nᵀ).





## 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.
