Reviewers

  • gpt-oss:20b: fail (error) — Step 5 applies the chain rule to three different functions (sin, cos, and exp) in one line, violating the rule that each step must change only one thing. This multi‑rule application is a defect.
  • qwen3.6:27b-mlx: pass — The solution correctly applies differentiation rules step-by-step, adhering to the one-change-per-step constraint. The labels accurately describe the operations performed, and the final result is correct.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by gemma4:26b, checked 2026-10-03 with SymPy 1.14.0.
