can you add zero to a null vector?

OpenStudy (theeric):

Hi! If you want to add something to a vector, it has to be a vector with the same number of components! \(0\) is not a vector. \(\vec 0\) is the null vector, where all components are \(0\). So, you cannot add them. Any questions? Sidenote: \(0+0=0\) \(\vec 0+\vec 0=\vec 0\) ... with three components, \(\left<0,0,0\right>+\left<0,0,0\right>=\left<0,0,0\right>\) \(\Huge\color{blue}{\large\ \ \ o\ o\ \\\smile}\)
