Vector Operations and Equations

The video tutorial explains how to express vector W as a combination of vectors U and V. It begins by converting vectors U and V into component form, then forms a system of equations to solve for scalars A and B. The solution shows that vector W can be expressed as -2 times vector U minus vector V. The tutorial concludes with a geometric interpretation, illustrating how the vectors combine to form vector W.
