Step 1: Understand the problem. You are given two vectors, A and B, in component form, and you need to calculate a new vector F using the formula F = A - 4B. This involves vector subtraction and scalar multiplication.
Step 2: Write down the components of vector A and vector B. Vector A = 4i - 2j can be expressed as (4, -2), and vector B = -3i + 5j can be expressed as (-3, 5).
Step 3: Perform scalar multiplication on vector B. Multiply each component of vector B by the scalar 4: 4 * (-3) = -12 for the i-component, and 4 * 5 = 20 for the j-component. This gives 4B = (-12, 20).
Step 4: Subtract 4B from A to find vector F. Subtract the corresponding components: For the i-component, 4 - (-12) = 4 + 12 = 16. For the j-component, -2 - 20 = -22. This gives F = (16, -22).
Step 5: Write vector F in component form. The final result is F = 16i - 22j, which is expressed as (16, -22) in component form.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Vector Addition and Subtraction

Vector addition and subtraction involve combining vectors by adding or subtracting their corresponding components. For example, if vector A has components (Ax, Ay) and vector B has components (Bx, By), the resultant vector C = A + B will have components (Ax + Bx, Ay + By). This principle is essential for calculating vector F in the given problem.

Component Form of a Vector

The component form of a vector expresses it in terms of its horizontal and vertical components, typically represented as A = xi + yj, where x is the horizontal component and y is the vertical component. This format allows for easier manipulation and calculation of vectors, particularly when performing operations like addition or subtraction.

Scalar Multiplication of Vectors

Scalar multiplication involves multiplying a vector by a scalar (a real number), which scales the vector's magnitude without changing its direction. For instance, if vector B is multiplied by a scalar k, the new vector kB will have components (kBx, kBy). This concept is crucial for determining vector F, as it requires multiplying vector B by -4 before performing the subtraction.
