What is the resultant of the two given vectors as an ordered pair? <-1,6> and <-3,-3>
<a , b> + <c , d > => < a+c , b+d >
by A & B you mean X & Y? just to be sure
yes
so tis just a simple vector sum
okay thank you so much :D
yw
can you help me with another one ?
ok
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?
|dw:1393460213938:dw| <-11, 0> + < 0, -2 > can't be sure though
try posting anew maybe thus you'd get more expsure, but I think is just a vector addition like so
and the angle or direction can be obtained from the resultant vector's components
okay thanks :D
