Original question and givens

On Z use f(x)=a*x+b, with nonzero slope a=2, intercept b=4, selected left=-17, right=18. Give (slope,intercept,left,right,image_left,image_right,injective_check?,universal_nonzero_slope_injection_Z_to_Z_then_encode_N).

  • G001 — On Z use f(x)=a*x+b, with nonzero slope a=2, intercept b=4, selected left=-17, right=18. Give (slope,intercept,left,right,image_left,image_right,injective_check?,universal_nonzero_slope_injection_Z_to_Z_then_encode_N).

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 · calculation

Before

affine left nonzero-slope product := mul(2, -17)

After

affine left nonzero-slope product = -34

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from original roles and established intermediates,retaining indices,signs,denominators and the operation's carrier.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

affine original left image := sum(-34, 4)

After

affine original left image = -30

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from original roles and established intermediates,retaining indices,signs,denominators and the operation's carrier.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

affine right nonzero-slope product := mul(2, 18)

After

affine right nonzero-slope product = 36

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from original roles and established intermediates,retaining indices,signs,denominators and the operation's carrier.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

affine original right image := sum(36, 4)

After

affine original right image = 40

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from original roles and established intermediates,retaining indices,signs,denominators and the operation's carrier.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

fixed integer map f(x)=(2)*x+(4);nonzero slope=2

After

for ANY integers x,y:f(x)=f(y) implies(2)*(x-y)=0,hence x=y

Conditions: none

Subtract the same intercept;the nonzero integer slope times(x−y) is zero.Cancellation in the integers gives x=y for every pair.The displayed left/right check is not the source of universal injectivity.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: affine_universal_injection_by_integer_cancellation · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

f maps Z injectively to Z;selected images=[-30, 40];selected-pair implication=Yes

After

encode integer z into N_0 by E(z)=2*z if z>=0,else -2*z-1;even/odd branches disjoint and each injective;E composed with f is injective

Conditions: none

The two branches yield nonnegative even and odd values,so cross-branch collisions are impossible;within each branch cancel±2.Composition gives an injection into the naturals.Negative slopes and equal selected inputs are allowed.

Step identifiers and dependencies

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 — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute affine original right image with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute affine right nonzero-slope product with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute affine original left image with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute affine left nonzero-slope product with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.

Result

(2, 4, -17, 18, -30, 40, Yes, universal_nonzero_slope_injection_Z_to_Z_then_encode_N)

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