Question

For the vectors, write the resultant as an ordered pair. *attachment below*

Answer 1

first form two vector

Answer 2

u know how to write it in vector form

Answer 3

Remember, when summing vectors, you sum the components. (X1+X2, Y1+Y2)

Answer 4

So to write a vector I use the (X1+X2, Y1+Y2)? Do i just put the coordinates in it?

Answer 5

Wait, you want the resultant, wich is the sum of all vectors, in this case it involves only those two, but in other cases there can be more, what matters is that to sum vectors you need to sum the x coordinates, and the y coordinates:So what you need to do is simply put the coordinates in but that is like that because the coordinates behave like in the drawing.

Answer 6

So yes, you just plug the numbers in.

Answer 7

(0+5, 5+0)
What do I do now?

Answer 8

That is not correct, you didn't understand what is means. Look at the drawing, how much the vector goes up? The amount that the first vector goes up plus how much the second vector goes up, the same holds for the horizontal line. So what you are going for is:\[(5, 1)+(3, 5)=(8, 6)\]

Answer 9

And that is the answer, but try to understand why

Answer 10

How did you get (5,1)? I understand 5 because it goes up five

Answer 11

wait... lol hold on

Answer 12

5 because it goes over 5

Answer 13

i because y is 1. I was looking at it wrong! thank you

Answer 14

Your welcome

Answer 15

Can you help me with more.

Answer 16

sure

Answer 17

So x would be 0,0 and y -3,2?

Answer 18

Are the two vectors the red lines in this pic...?

First find the coordinates for each vector... i have no idea how you got:
"So x would be 0,0 and y -3,2?"

Answer 19

(-3,-5) and (2,5) right..

Answer 20

Yes. Now to find the resultant vector, add the x components and y components.

Answer 21

(-1,0).. thank you. I keep finding the x and y the wrong way. I understand now.

Answer 22

<-1,0> looks correct :)
