Original question and givens

Use order2 coefficients=[3, 5] oldest-to-newest, constant=0, known a_0=8, alternative a_1=9 or 10, target_n=8. Give (first_initial, second_left, second_right, left_prefix, right_prefix, prefixes_differ, one_initial_uniqueness_claim, boundary).

G001 — Use order2 coefficients=[3, 5] oldest-to-newest, constant=0, known a_0=8, alternative a_1=9 or 10, target_n=8. Give (first_initial, second_left, second_right, left_prefix, right_prefix, prefixes_differ, one_initial_uniqueness_claim, boundary).

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.
