that'd be just plain addition of vectors
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I didnt read about that :/
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8, -6?
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
a * < b, c> => < a*b, a*c> # scalar multiplication
<b , c > + <d, e> => <b+d, c+e> # addition
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm sorry I dont understnad

4u => 4 < 7, -3 > # scalar multiplication
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok...so gimme a sec
please
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got 1, 12...thats not right
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
you have 4u - 3v
so you do the "scalar multiplication" first
then do the "vector addition" operation on the products
OpenStudy (anonymous):
...ill try again...

i dont get it...4(7,3) -3(-9,5)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is the answer then 55, -27
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
\(\large \begin{matrix}
a \times <b, c> &\implies & < a \times b, a\times c> &\textit{ scalar multiplication}\\
<b , c > + <d, e> & \implies & <b+d, c+e> &\textit{vector addition}
\end{matrix}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
where did d and e come from :(
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
hehe, it's just a notation for the operations

:((((
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
that's how you'd multiply a scalar
that's how you'd add 2 vectors
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It doesnt make sense
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
\( \begin{matrix}
\color{red}{a} \times <b, c> &\implies & < \color{red}{a} \times b, \color{red}{a}\times c> &\textit{ scalar multiplication}\\
<\color{blue}{b} ,\color{blue}{ c} > + <\color{green}{d}, \color{green}{e}> & \implies & <\color{blue}{b}+\color{green}{d}, \color{blue}{c}+\color{green}{e}> &\textit{vector addition}
\end{matrix}\)
see it now?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so i just need the botton formula you keep giving me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the answer is 55, -27
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right
?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
hmm, I got something else, the -27 is correct though
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that is the only answer possible...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
28+27 = 55
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wanna help with another?
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
28 + (-27) => 1

please?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but its positive 27 becaise -9 and -3
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
ohhh nevermind, yes 55, I see what happened
OpenStudy (anonymous):
:)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so wanna help again?

I can try
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok :) Let u = <-3, -5>, v = <-3, 1>. Find u + v
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-6, -4 ???
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
yes
