Original question and givens

Use boundary mode=discontinuous_jump and positive exact scale=16. Give (mode, function_description, a, b, target, inclusive_bracket, continuous, root_exists).

  • G001 — Use boundary mode=discontinuous_jump and positive exact scale=16. Give (mode, function_description, a, b, target, inclusive_bracket, continuous, root_exists).

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 roles = [ivt-discontinuity-boundary]

After

derived = [[mode, function_description, a, b, target, inclusive_bracket, continuous, root_exists]]

Conditions: none

List the full source field order without JavaScript.Original modes select contract6/4/6/6 and IVT8/7/8 roles,without padding or answer-shape inference.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: source_ordered_fields_without_JS · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [discontinuous_jump, 16]

After

derived = [discontinuous_jump, f(x)=-16_for_x<0_and_16_for_x>=0, -1, 1, 0, Yes, No, No]

Conditions: none

The jump takes only±s and misses0 despite endpoint bracketing because continuity fails.The scaled identity on[0,1] reaches at most s,not2s.For x² on[-s,s],target s² has two endpoint roots,so existence is not uniqueness.False roles follow the mode;do not pad a continuity field.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: IVT_original_jump_nonbracket_nonunique_distinct_roles · 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

(discontinuous_jump, f(x)=-16_for_x<0_and_16_for_x>=0, -1, 1, 0, Yes, No, No)

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