Original question and givens

Use order2 coefficients=[1, 2] oldest-to-newest, constant=3, known a_0=15, alternative a_1=16 or 17, target_n=6. Give (first_initial, second_left, second_right, left_prefix, right_prefix, prefixes_differ, one_initial_uniqueness_claim, boundary).

G001 — Use order2 coefficients=[1, 2] oldest-to-newest, constant=3, known a_0=15, alternative a_1=16 or 17, target_n=6. 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.
