Vector Operations and Resultant Analysis

The video tutorial explains the subtraction of scalar multiples of two vectors, C and D. It begins with scalar multiplication of the vectors' components, followed by subtraction of the resulting vectors. The tutorial then demonstrates how to represent these vectors on a coordinate plane and discusses two methods for vector addition: placing vectors head-to-tail and using the parallelogram method. The resultant vector is calculated and visualized, providing a comprehensive understanding of vector operations.
