Original question and givens

Use coordinate bounds lower=[-15, -16, -17],upper=[16, 17, 18], start=[-14, -15, -16],end=[15, 16, 17]. Give (lower, upper, start, end, coordinate_formulas, range_certificate, certificate).

  • G001 — Use coordinate bounds lower=[-15, -16, -17],upper=[16, 17, 18], start=[-14, -15, -16],end=[15, 16, 17]. Give (lower, upper, start, end, coordinate_formulas, 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-box-linear]

After

derived = [[lower, upper, start, end, formulas, 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 · implies

Before

source roles = [[-15, -16, -17], [16, 17, 18], [-14, -15, -16], [15, 16, 17]]

After

derived = [3, Yes]

Conditions: none

Check both endpoints against each coordinate interval with matching dimensions.Degenerate coordinates and reverse orientation are allowed.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Path_ALL_coordinate_endpoint_premises · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

Path coordinate0 ORIGINAL end minus start := sub(15, -14)

After

Path coordinate0 ORIGINAL end minus start = 29

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 · implies

Before

source roles = [0, -15, 16, -14, 15, 29]

After

derived = [gamma_i(t)=(1-t)*start_i+t*end_i, 0<=t<=1, -15, 16, -14, 15]

Conditions: none

For every t in[0,1],weights(1-t),t are nonnegative and sum to1.Thus this coordinate lies between its endpoints and within its bounds;the affine coordinate is continuous,not merely endpoint-checked.

S005 · calculation

Before

Path coordinate1 ORIGINAL end minus start := sub(16, -15)

After

Conditions: none

For every t in[0,1],weights(1-t),t are nonnegative and sum to1.Thus this coordinate lies between its endpoints and within its bounds;the affine coordinate is continuous,not merely endpoint-checked.

Reverse checks

  • S008 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check the complete original data,types,field order and premises;finite audits are not formal proofs of infinite theorems.
  • S007 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Path coordinate2 ORIGINAL end minus start with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check the complete original data,types,field order and premises;finite audits are not formal proofs of infinite theorems.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Path coordinate1 ORIGINAL end minus start with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check the complete original data,types,field order and premises;finite audits are not formal proofs of infinite theorems.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Path coordinate0 ORIGINAL end minus start with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check the complete original data,types,field order and premises;finite audits are not formal proofs of infinite theorems.
  • 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

([-15, -16, -17], [16, 17, 18], [-14, -15, -16], [15, 16, 17], [-14+(29)t, -15+(31)t, -16+(33)t], Yes, coordinatewise_convex_combination_stays_in_box)

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