Let u = <5, 6>, v = <-2, -6>. Find -2u + 5v. (1 point) <-20, -42> <-20, 0> <0, 18> <-6, 0>

OpenStudy (sdfgsdfgs):

to evaluate the range for -2u+5v, you simply substitute the ranges for u and v in the eqn...

OpenStudy (sdfgsdfgs):

in this case u <5,6> and v <-2,-6>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea...

@sdfgsdfgs

OpenStudy (sdfgsdfgs):

the expression is -2u+5v ok? u is in between 5 and 6 and v is between -2 and -6 so far so good?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sdfgsdfgs

OpenStudy (sdfgsdfgs):

to find the range, we need to find the smallest and largest possible value for -2u+5v

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay!

OpenStudy (sdfgsdfgs):

u is in between 5 and 6; which will give the smallest -2u and will give the largest -2u?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

I think u and v are vectors here

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

Wait. I think I got is. Dilate coordinates u by -2 so that would be (10,12). Dilate v by 5 so that would be (-10,-30). now add so you get (0,-18)

@Plasmataco, you have the right idea but you have sign error
