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 only the explicitly supplied rule, symbols and finite pair table. Graph appearance supplies no values, and agreement on the listed inputs proves no equivalence on unlisted domains. a=0, b=5, inputs=[0, 1, 3]; f(x)=a*x+b. Give (a,b,sorted distinct inputs,every [x,f(x)] row).


- G001 — Use only the explicitly supplied rule, symbols and finite pair table. Graph appearance supplies no values, and agreement on the listed inputs proves no equivalence on unlisted domains. a=0, b=5, inputs=[0, 1, 3]; f(x)=a*x+b. Give (a,b,sorted distinct inputs,every [x,f(x)] row).





## 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 · impliesBefore

declared symbolic rule or complete finite table

After

keep the stated domain and representation distinct

Conditions: none

Use only the declared rule or table;agreement on a finite table alone does not establish function equality on an unlisted domain.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: representation_scope · Uses: G001





S002 · impliesBefore

[0, 1, 3]

After

[0, 1, 3]

Conditions: none

Deduplicate and numerically order the domain;repeating an input creates no additional function value.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: distinct_numeric_domain · Uses: G001, S001





S003 · calculationBefore

x=0 ax := mul(0, 0)

After

x=0 ax = 0

Conditions: none

Evaluate a·x first;do not replace the rule by a(x+b).

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002





S004 · calculationBefore

x=0 ax+b := sum(0, 5)

After

x=0 ax+b = 5

Conditions: none

Then add the intercept b,fully substituting this input.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003





S005 · impliesBefore

x=0; ax+b=5

After

[0, 5]

Conditions: none

Each input is paired with its calculated output;the ordered pair lists input before output.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: representation_table_row · Uses: G001, S004





S006 · calculationBefore

x=1 ax := mul(0, 1)

After

x=1 ax = 0

Conditions: none

Evaluate a·x first;do not replace the rule by a(x+b).

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S005





S007 · calculationBefore

x=1 ax+b := sum(0, 5)

After

x=1 ax+b = 5

Conditions: none

Then add the intercept b,fully substituting this input.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S006





S008 · impliesBefore

x=1; ax+b=5

After

[1, 5]

Conditions: none

Each input is paired with its calculated output;the ordered pair lists input before output.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: representation_table_row · Uses: G001, S007





S009 · calculationBefore

x=3 ax := mul(0, 3)

After

x=3 ax = 0

Conditions: none

Evaluate a·x first;do not replace the rule by a(x+b).

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S008





S010 · calculationBefore

x=3 ax+b := sum(0, 5)

After

x=3 ax+b = 5

Conditions: none

Then add the intercept b,fully substituting this input.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S009





S011 · impliesBefore

x=3; ax+b=5

After

[3, 5]

Conditions: none

Each input is paired with its calculated output;the ordered pair lists input before output.

## Reverse checks


- S011 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
- S010 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute x=3 ax+b with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
- S009 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute x=3 ax with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
- 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 x=1 ax+b with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
- S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute x=1 ax with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.

## Result

(0, 5, [0, 1, 3], [[0, 5], [1, 5], [3, 5]])

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