Original question and givens

Use closed real interval [-3,4], start=-1,end=2, with the ordinary unit interval as path domain. Give (left, right, start, end, path_formula, start_statement, end_statement, range_certificate, certificate).

  • G001 — Use closed real interval [-3,4], start=-1,end=2, with the ordinary unit interval as path domain. Give (left, right, start, end, path_formula, start_statement, end_statement, range_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

Before

source roles = [path-interval-linear]

After

derived = [[left, right, start, end, formula, start_endpoint, end_endpoint, continuous_path, certificate]]

Conditions: none

List this operation/mode exact source field order without JavaScript.Keep Boolean,string and null roles distinct;do not pad fields or infer the interface from answer shape.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: source_ordered_fields_without_JS · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

Path ORIGINAL end minus start := sub(2, -1)

After

Path ORIGINAL end minus start = 3

Conditions: none

Substitute the original roles exactly,retaining symbolic operations;no floating approximation or extra source-domain restriction.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

Path endpoint at zero := sum(-1, 0)

After

Path endpoint at zero = -1

Conditions: none

Substitute the original roles exactly,retaining symbolic operations;no floating approximation or extra source-domain restriction.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

Path endpoint at one := sum(-1, 3)

After

Path endpoint at one = 2

Conditions: none

Substitute the original roles exactly,retaining symbolic operations;no floating approximation or extra source-domain restriction.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

source roles = [-3, 4, -1, 2, 3]

After

derived = [gamma(t)=(1-t)*start+t*end, 0<=t<=1, continuous affine function, Yes]

Conditions: none

Expand a+(b-a)t as(1-t)a+tb.For every t the weights are nonnegative with sum1,so the whole range remains in the closed interval.The affine function is continuous with the stated endpoints.Degenerate intervals are allowed;extra endpoint identities add no source numeric gate.

Reverse checks

  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check the complete original data,types,field order and premises;finite audits are not formal proofs of infinite theorems.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Path endpoint at one with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Path endpoint at zero with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Path ORIGINAL end minus start with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check the complete original data,types,field order and premises;finite audits are not formal proofs of infinite theorems.

Result

(-3, 4, -1, 2, gamma(t)=-1+(3)t, gamma(0)=start, gamma(1)=end, Yes, convex_combination_stays_in_interval)

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