Original question and givens

Use objective gradient=[21, 42], constraint-gradient rows=[[1, 0], [0, 1]], aligned multipliers=[21, 42]. Give (objective_gradient, constraint_gradient_rows, multipliers, gradient_combination, stationarity_residual, equation_holds, sign_convention).

  • G001 — Use objective gradient=[21, 42], constraint-gradient rows=[[1, 0], [0, 1]], aligned multipliers=[21, 42]. Give (objective_gradient, constraint_gradient_rows, multipliers, gradient_combination, stationarity_residual, equation_holds, sign_convention).

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.
