Original question and givens
Use the one-variable quadratic f(t)=a*t²+b*t+c with coefficients [a,b,c]=[1, -7, 2], not ascending-power order. The declared interval [lower,upper]=[-7, 8] belongs to the function data. left=-2/1, right=2/1. Give (coefficients,interval,left,left feasible?,left value,right,right feasible?,right value,relation,pairwise_only_no_global_optimum_claim). The relation is not_comparable if either point is infeasible; otherwise left_lower, right_lower or equal. Use exact rational arithmetic with reduced positive denominators; omit /1 for integers. Keep convex-objective qualification, convex feasible-domain qualification, point feasibility, evaluation and comparison separate. These checks supply no general solver, global optimum, existence, uniqueness, KKT or convergence claim.

Before
declared interval record=[-7, 8]
After
ordered_nonempty=Yes;nondegenerate=Yes
Conditions: none
This nonempty-interval protocol uses lower≤upper;the nondegenerate certificate additionally needs lower<upper.A reversed record is unqualified,not a declaration that the abstract empty set is nonconvex.A singleton interval is convex.
