Problema 34

Capitolo 8, Problema 34

Given u = 〈-2, 5〉 and v = 〈4, 3〉, find each of the following.
v - u

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Identify the given vectors: \( \mathbf{u} = \langle -2, 5 \rangle \) and \( \mathbf{v} = \langle 4, 3 \rangle \).

Recall that vector subtraction \( \mathbf{v} - \mathbf{u} \) is performed component-wise: subtract the corresponding components of \( \mathbf{u} \) from \( \mathbf{v} \).

Set up the subtraction for each component: \( (v_x - u_x, v_y - u_y) \), where \( v_x = 4, u_x = -2, v_y = 3, u_y = 5 \).

Calculate each component difference separately: \( 4 - (-2) \) for the x-component and \( 3 - 5 \) for the y-component.

Combine the results to write the vector \( \mathbf{v} - \mathbf{u} \) as \( \langle 4 - (-2), 3 - 5 \rangle \).

Concetti chiave

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

Vector Representation

Vectors are quantities defined by both magnitude and direction, often represented as ordered pairs or tuples in two dimensions. For example, u = 〈-2, 5〉 indicates a vector with components -2 along the x-axis and 5 along the y-axis.

Introduction to Vectors

Vector Subtraction

Vector subtraction involves subtracting corresponding components of two vectors. For vectors v = 〈v₁, v₂〉 and u = 〈u₁, u₂〉, the difference v - u is 〈v₁ - u₁, v₂ - u₂〉, resulting in a new vector.

Adding Vectors Geometrically

Component-wise Operations

Operations on vectors such as addition and subtraction are performed component-wise, meaning each component is handled independently. This simplifies calculations and helps visualize vector operations geometrically.
