Question

The ordered pairs <5, 2> and <3, –2> represent two vectors. What is the magnitude of the resultant? (1 point)

Answer 1

I think you can just add corresponding coordinates here.

Answer 2

can you help me figure this out? I am so horrible at math. maybe the worst ever. and having two abbies while trying to figure this out is just mind boiling.

Answer 3

I don't know what 'having two abbies' means, but what I mean is you can add <5, 2> and <3, -2> and get <8, 0> as the resultant.

Answer 4

babies lol

Answer 5

Ah, that makes more sense then! My sympathies.

Answer 6

2, 4.5, 6, and 8 are my options.

Answer 7

Do you know how to graph these vectors?

Answer 8

no.

Answer 9

i know NOTHING about Geometry.

Answer 10

Then why are you trying to answer questions about vectors?

Answer 11

not sure. its a practice question on m online school.

Answer 12

is this the whole problem? vectors need a direction.

Answer 13

The directions are given, @Jusaquikie

Answer 14

Here's insight into the notation:
<5, 2> means an arrow that goes 5 units in the x direction and 2 units in the y direction.

Answer 15

It looks like this (if I start it at the origin of the XY plane (0, 0)).

Answer 16

If I add <3, -2> (an arrow that goes 3 units right and 2 units down), then we get this.

Answer 17

With me so far, @alydodgesmith1 ?
