Let u = <6, -9>, v = <1, -4>. Find u - v.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

<5, -5> <10, -10> <15, 5> <7, -13>

@VeritasVosLiberabit i'm very bad at this chapter haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok this is fairly simple. Multiply like components when doing vector addition. \[<a,b>-<c,d>=<a-c,b-d>\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry subtract

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

<6,-9>-<1,-4>=<6-1>-<-9+4>?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but don't use that notation, you are splitting the vectors

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if anything use regular parentheses ()

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so how should it look?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(6-1),-(9-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then combine into a vector <(6-1),(-9-4)>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(5,-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct, well done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can i just keep asking you questions haha? you are very helpful

OpenStudy (anonymous):
