Original question and givens

Use a finite nonempty ordered vector list and aligned exact rational weights. Convex weights may be zero but must be nonnegative and sum exactly to 1, not merely approximately. A convex-combination witness establishes its weighted point, not unique coordinates without separate affine independence. vectors=[[3, 0], [5, 2]], weights=[2/3, 2/3]. This family admits unqualified candidates for inspection. Give (vectors,normalized weights,all nonnegative?,exact sum,sum equals 1?,both conditions?). Use exact rational arithmetic, reduce fractions to positive denominators and omit /1 for integer outputs.

  • G001 — Use a finite nonempty ordered vector list and aligned exact rational weights. Convex weights may be zero but must be nonnegative and sum exactly to 1, not merely approximately.

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

convex weights:raw rational pairs=[[2, 3], [2, 3]]

After

convex weights:normalized=[2/3, 2/3]

Conditions: none

Every original denominator must be nonzero.Reduce fractions to positive denominators without decimal approximation.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_weight_normalization · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

convex weights total := sum(2/3, 2/3)

After

convex weights total = 4/3

Conditions: none

Compute exactly with this step's specified roles,retaining signs,denominators and original pairings.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

convex weights:weights=[2/3, 2/3];sum=4/3

After

nonnegative=Yes;total_one=No;qualified=No

Conditions: none

Check nonnegativity and exact total one separately.Zero weights are allowed;negative weights or near-one totals are not repaired.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: separate_weight_guards · Uses: G001, S002

Reverse checks

  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute convex weights total 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

([[3, 0], [5, 2]], [2/3, 2/3], Yes, 4/3, No, No)

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