I know it's not the first option because I picked that and it was wrong. I've had two people help me with this and they've got that answer but I keep getting the one I picked.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

okay i can help you

OpenStudy (alexh107):

Okay cool, could you see if what I picked is right?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

did you plug it in?

OpenStudy (alexh107):

Yes I got <40, 72> - <12, 16> = <28, 56>

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

looks good; @mathmale can you double check so I dont feel stupid if im wrong?

Let's quickly go thru this problem again: Please multiply vector u by -8. Result? Next, multiply vector v by -2. Result? Then add the 2 results together. -8<-5,-9> = ? -2<6,8> = ? Sum of the above 2 vectors:

OpenStudy (alexh107):

I still got <40, 72> + <-12, -16> = <28, 56>
