Let u = <-6, -2>, v = <-2, 3>. Find -3u + 2v.

OpenStudy (psymon):

So this basically means we need to do this -3(-6i,-2j) + 2(-2i,3j) We distribute the -3 and the 2 into each part of the vector. Then once we are done, we combine like terms, combining the i terms and combining the j terms. So could you distribute in the -3 and the 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (18i,6j) + (-4i, 6j)

OpenStudy (psymon):

Right, perfect. Now we need to combine like terms since it's asking to add them. We combine i's and we combine j's like so: 18i + -4i 6j + 6j Once you finish with that you have your answer :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16,12 then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14,12*

OpenStudy (psymon):

Right xD Just make sure to leave it in vector form (14i,12j)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright :D thanks a lot :D

OpenStudy (psymon):

Yep, no problem ^_^
