What is the resultant of the two given vectors as an ordered pair? <-1,6> and <-3,-3>

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

<a , b> + <c , d > => < a+c , b+d >

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by A & B you mean X & Y? just to be sure

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yes

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so tis just a simple vector sum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you so much :D

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yw

Ok... Miguel is driving his motoboat across a river. The speed of the boat in still water is 11mph. The river flows directly south at 2mph. If Miguel heads heads directly west, what are the boat's resultant speed and direction?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1393460213938:dw| <-11, 0> + < 0, -2 > can't be sure though

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

try posting anew maybe thus you'd get more expsure, but I think is just a vector addition like so

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

and the angle or direction can be obtained from the resultant vector's components

okay thanks :D
