Adding and Subtracting Vectors

What is the resultant of these two vectors?

• +17 m

• +3 m

• -17 m

• -3 m

Which vector equation matches the vector operation shown in the diagram below?

• u-v=w

• u-v=-w

• u+v=w

• v+u=-w

When adding two vectors graphically, a+b=c. Does b+a produce the same resultant vector c?

• Yes, two vectors added together always produce the same resultant vector

• No, because order matters

• Yes, but c will be pointing in the opposite direction

• No, because you can't add two vectors

A resultant vector is

• equal to the sum of one vector.

• equal to the sum of two or more vectors.

• equal to the difference of one vector.

Let u = <5, 2> and v = <1, -1>.

Find u + v.

• <4, -1>

• <6, 1>

• <1, 6>

Given v = 〈3,-5〉 and w = 〈-2,3〉, what is v + w?

• 〈6,-10〉

• 〈1,-2〉

• 〈0,-1〉
