Reviewers
gpt-oss:20b: fail (error) — Step 5 applies the chain rule to multiple terms at once (to both the sine and cosine inside the first product and to the exponential in the second product). Each application of the chain rule must be a separate step; combining them violates the one‑rule‑per‑step rule.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.
Senior review claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-08: pass — Every line is verified equal by SymPy, the rule labels are legitimate, and the final result exp(2x+2)*sin(2x+2) matches the stated answer. The step 5 objection is not a real defect.
gpt-oss:20b: dismiss — Applying the same chain rule to several terms (sin, cos, exp with inner 2x+2) is one rule applied across terms, which the contract treats as a single change; the label 'chain' is correct and SymPy verified the line.

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.
