Question

Write the sum of the two vectors as an ordered pair. (7, -5) and (4,4). Will give medals!

Answer 1

\(\large <a,b>+<c,d>\implies <a+c, b+d>\)

Answer 2

I dont have C.

Answer 3

translating what jdoe0001 just wrote: to add the vectors, you simply add the corresponding components

Answer 4

example:

<1, 7> + <5, 12> = <1+5, 7+12> = <6, 19>

<1, 7> + <5, 12> = <6, 19>

Answer 5

also, you can write the vector <1,7> as the ordered pair (1,7)

Answer 6

Okay Im still confused. I dont see where I can get the value for C.

Answer 7

Im sorry if its obvious and im being dumb.

Answer 8

where are you seeing "C" ?

Answer 9

<a,b>+<c,d>⟹<a+c,b+d>

In there

Answer 10

oh those are just placeholders for numbers

Answer 11

Okay so basically I just add it all

Answer 12

add up the corresponding components

Answer 13

notice how with <a,b>, the 'a' is the first component

with <c,d>, the 'c' is the first component

Answer 14

wait would it be (11, -1) right?

Answer 15

add the first components: a+c

that's why you have 'a+c' in <a+c, b+d> in the first component of the answer

Answer 16

correct

Answer 17

Cool. Are you online a alot? I frequently run into problems.

Answer 18

somewhat a lot, yes

Answer 19

others on this site can help as well (not just me)

Answer 20

I have a question about adding vectors, I will make a new thread. I just find that often when I come here during the day (i have online courses) I cant get as much help because some are offline so I add a few who help me and I try to get help from them

Answer 21

ok post your new question
