Original question and givens

Use original low-to-high coefficients=[3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18] for f(t)=sum coefficients[k]*t^k and derivative order=8≥0. f^(0)=f and each further order differentiates the preceding function. The declared degree bound is coefficient-list length minus1; trailing zeros would make it an upper bound rather than a minimal degree. Evaluation point=0. Give (declared_degree_bound, order, derivative_coefficients, point, value, zero_derivative_certificate, certificate).

  • G001 — Use original low-to-high coefficients=[3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18] for f(t)=sum coefficients[k]*t^k and derivative order=8≥0. f^(0)=f and each further order differentiates the preceding function. The declared degree bound is coefficient-list length minus1; trailing zeros would make it an upper bound rather than a minimal degree. Evaluation point=0. Give (declared_degree_bound, order, derivative_coefficients, point, value, zero_derivative_certificate, 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
