pre calc help .-.

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

Let u = <5, 6>, v = <-2, -6>. Find -2u + 5v.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it u vector = 5i + 6j and v vector = -2i - 6j

geerky42 (geerky42):

n<a, b> = <n⋅a, n⋅b>

geerky42 (geerky42):

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

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

that helps literally none considering i have no abcord nor do i have an n

geerky42 (geerky42):

a, b, and n is just some constant, n<a, b> = <n⋅a, n⋅b> means you can distribute number outside vector into each number in vector what I am trying to say is that if you have like -2u, which is -2<5, 6> = <-2⋅5, -2⋅6> because you distribute -2 in vector

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

lol okay so its -10,-12

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

@geerky42

geerky42 (geerky42):

yeah. -2u is <-10, -12>. Do you know what 5v is?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

-10, -30

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

so its -20, -42 right?

geerky42 (geerky42):

Yep, now what is <-10, -12> + <-10, -30>?
