TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
\(\sf k<u,v>~ = ~<ku,kv>\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What would K represent? @TheSmartOne
OpenStudy (phi):
-4u
k is the -4

\(\sf\large <v_1, v_2> + <u_1,u_2> ~= ~<v_1+u_1, v_2+u_2>\)

11+3=14?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@TheSmartOne
OpenStudy (phi):
where did you get 11+3 ?
-4 times each number in u
+2 times each number in v
then add corresponding components to get a new vector
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so -4(-6)=-24
-4(1)=-4
(24,-4)
2(-5)=-10
2(2)=4
(-10,4)

yes, so far so good
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
negative number times a negative number = a positive number
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
So what is \(\sf -4 \times -6 = ?\)
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
Seems like you messed up in the first step, but then put the correct value at the end .-.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
24+(-10)=14
-4+4=0
(14,0)?
