Question 1439: Quotient Dimension with Ordered Exponent Subtraction

Original question and givens

Use basic dimension exponent vectors [L,M,T] in that order. Input exponents and the integer power are bounded, but a computed result need not stay inside the input bound. Dimension agreement is necessary but not sufficient for physical correctness; unit scale conversions are separate. numerator=[3, 0, 2], denominator=[1, 1, 0]. Give (numerator vector, denominator vector, quotient exponent vector).

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

dimension coordinate order=[L,M,T]

left/base=[3, 0, 2]; right=[1, 1, 0]

formal units L^a M^b T^c

product adds;quotient subtracts;power scales exponents

result exponent L := sub(3, 1)

result exponent L = 2

result exponent M := sub(0, 1)

result exponent M = -1

result exponent T := sub(2, 0)

result exponent T = 2

[2, -1, 2]

Reverse checks

• S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
• S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute result exponent T with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
• S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute result exponent M with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
• S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute result exponent L with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
• S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
• S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

([3, 0, 2], [1, 1, 0], [2, -1, 2])

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