Original question and givens

Use mode=composite_modulus, modulus=9, original a=3. Give (mode, modulus, normalized_class, declared_model_qualified, boundary).

  • G001 — Use mode=composite_modulus, modulus=9, original a=3. Give (mode, modulus, normalized_class, declared_model_qualified, 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.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source operation=quadratic-domain-boundary;original snapshot and mathematics retained

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[mode, modulus, normalized_class, declared_model_qualified, boundary]

Conditions: none

Retain the historical interface marker while listing source fields without JavaScript.Tags and No retain their claim scope;source-protocol ordering is not a mathematical proof.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: source_ordered_interface_explicit_without_javascript · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

Quadratic ORIGINAL boundary class Euclidean quotient times modulus := mul(0, 9)

After

Quadratic ORIGINAL boundary class Euclidean quotient times modulus = 0

Conditions: none

Substitute this question's original roles,order and established intermediates exactly,not floats or another question's data.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

Quadratic ORIGINAL boundary class ORIGINAL signed value minus multiple := sub(3, 0)

After

Quadratic ORIGINAL boundary class ORIGINAL signed value minus multiple = 3

Conditions: none

Substitute this question's original roles,order and established intermediates exactly,not floats or another question's data.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

Quadratic ORIGINAL boundary class:ORIGINAL signed value=3;positive modulus=9;actual quotient=0

After

canonical residue=3;value=quotient*modulus+residue and0<=residue<modulus

Conditions: none

Retain the original signed value and congruence class via Euclidean division;do not mistake a language-specific negative remainder for the canonical class.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: signed_mod_ORIGINAL_class_normalized_not_changed · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

Quadratic composite boundary modulus:ORIGINAL integer=9;complete possible trial divisors=[2, 3]

After

ALL [divisor,remainder] rows=[[2, 1], [3, 0]];prime=No;a composite>1 has a factor at most its square root

Conditions: none

Check the entire square-root divisor range.The empty range qualifies prime2,but not0 or1.Samples,square tables or an Euler criterion do not replace primality qualification.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: finite_prime_ALL_trial_divisors_through_square_root · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL mode=composite_modulus,modulus=9,a=3;normalized class=3

After

declared_model_qualified=No;zero,p2 and composite conventions handled separately;NOT a claim this class has no square root under another convention

Conditions: none

Zero has root0 but is excluded by this nonzero convention.Modulus2 or composite classes may also have roots.The No marks model scope,not absence of roots or an out-of-domain two-root theorem.

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 — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Quadratic ORIGINAL boundary class ORIGINAL signed value minus multiple with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Quadratic ORIGINAL boundary class Euclidean quotient times modulus with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(composite_modulus, 9, 3, No, nonzero_quadratic_residue_convention_requires_an_odd_prime_and_nonzero_class)

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