gpt-oss:20b: fail (error) — Step 2 applies the product rule incorrectly by treating the sum (5*x+5/2) as two separate factors. The derivative of (5*x+5/2) is 5, not split into two terms. This violates the rule‑application granularity and introduces an algebraic error.deepseek-r1:70b: passqwen3.6:27b-mlx: pass

This violates the rule‑application granularity and introduces an algebraic error.qwen3.6:27b-mlx: fail (error) 2026-09-20 — Step 2 incorrectly applies the product rule to a sum of two terms (5*x + 5/2) as if it were a single factor, resulting in an invalid expansion with three terms instead of two. The product rule (uv)' = u'v + uv' requires two factors, but the step treats the first factor as a sum and differentiates each part separately while keeping the second factor, which is not a valid single-step application of the product rule.gpt-oss:20b: fail (error) 2026-09-20 — Step 2 incorrectly applies the product rule to the sum (5*x + 5/2). It introduces an extra term Derivative(5/2, x)*exp(2*x + 2) that should not be present. The correct product rule would only have Derivative(5*x + 5/2, x)*exp(2*x + 2) + (5*x + 5/2)*Derivative(exp(2*x + 2), x).qwen3.6:27b-mlx: pass 2026-09-19deepseek-r1:70b: pass 2026-09-19gpt-oss:20b: fail (error) 2026-09-19 — Step 2 applies the product rule to each term of the sum (5*x + 5/2) separately, effectively using two rules at once. The correct application is to differentiate the whole first factor once, not split it into two product‑rule applications. This violates the one‑rule‑per‑step requirement.qwen3.6:27b-mlx: pass 2026-09-19deepseek-r1:70b: pass 2026-09-19gpt-oss:20b: fail (error) 2026-09-19 — Step 2 applies the product rule and simultaneously distributes the derivative over the sum 5*x+5/2, i.e., it uses two rules in one step. Each step must change only one thing, so this is a defect.gpt-oss:20b: pass 2026-09-17deepseek-r1:70b: pass 2026-09-17
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 2026-09-26 with SymPy 1.14.0.
