Original question and givens

Use mode=positive_gradient_direction, complete model={"gradient":[18,-1]}. Give (mode, gradient, positive_direction, directional_inner_product, positive, descent_claim, boundary).

  • G001 — Use mode=positive_gradient_direction, complete model={"gradient":[18,-1]}. Give (mode, gradient, positive_direction, directional_inner_product, positive, descent_claim, 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.
