Original question and givens

Use k(j)=index_start+index_step*j on natural j starting at0, with index_start=17≥0 and positive integer index_step=3. Give (index_start, index_step, index_formula, strictly_increasing, certificate).

  • G001 — Use k(j)=index_start+index_step*j on natural j starting at0, with index_start=17≥0 and positive integer index_step=3. Give (index_start, index_step, index_formula, strictly_increasing, certificate).

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

source operation=subseq-index-certificate;original snapshot and mathematics retained

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[index_start, index_step, index_formula, strictly_increasing, certificate]

Conditions: none

Retain the historical interface marker in the original snapshot while listing ordered source fields here,without JavaScript or external lookup.Field labels are not additional mathematical evidence,and No retains the source claim scope.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: source_ordered_interface_explicit_without_javascript · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

original subsequence index k:ORIGINAL nonnegative start=17;positive integer step=3;F(q)=start+step*q for EVERY natural q>=0

After

F(q)>=start>=0 and for ANY q<r,F(r)-F(q)=(3)*(r-q)>0;strictly increasing on ALL naturals,not just the evaluated prefix

Conditions: none

A positive integer step preserves the order of every pair of natural indices,not merely injectivity or an arbitrary reordering.This universal mathematical law is not truncated by an evaluated-output safety range and says nothing about monotonicity of source values.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: subseq_affine_all_natural_index_order_not_value_monotonicity · Uses: G001, S001

Reverse checks

  • 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

(17, 3, k(j)=17+3j, Yes, strictly_increasing_for_all_natural_j)

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