  3. \[ = \int e^{2 x - 1} \sin{\left(e^{2 x - 1} \right)}\, dx \]
    simplify simplifySimplify the expression inside the integral. Simplify the constant factor.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = - \frac{\cos{\left(e^{2 x - 1} \right)}}{2} \]
    antiderivativeIntegrate using the substitution u = exp(2*x - 1), where du = 2*exp(2*x - 1)dx.✓ Proved
Answer \( - \frac{\cos{\left(e^{2 x - 1} \right)}}{2} + C \)

Every line of this solution was proved by the computer algebra system SymPy. The answer was also checked a second way, without looking at the solution. The reviewers disagree about how one step is explained; every verdict is in the receipt.

Reviewers

  • gpt-oss:20b: pass
  • qwen3.6:27b-mlx: fail (style) — Steps 2 through 5 are redundant and violate the 'one change per step' principle by performing trivial algebraic manipulations (multiplying/dividing by 2, rewriting derivative, simplifying) that do not constitute distinct logical progress. The solution could proceed directly from step 1 to step 6 via substitution.

  • qwen3.6:27b-mlx: fail (error) 2026-10-04 — Step 3 introduces a derivative operator into the integrand, which is not algebraically equivalent to the previous step (which contained a constant factor 2). Step 4 then simplifies this derivative back to the original expression, making Steps 3 and 4 redundant and logically disjointed. The transition from Step 2 to Step 6 is valid via substitution, but the intermediate steps 3-5 are mathematically incoherent or redundant.

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 2026-10-04 with SymPy 1.14.0.
