Question

Let u = <-6, 3>, v = <1, 9>. Find u - v.

ANSWER CHOICES
<-15, 2>
<-9,-8>
<-5, 12>
<-7, -6>

Answer 1

D. <-7,-6>

Explanation:

We have, the vectors u = <-6,3> and v = <1,9>

It is required to find the vector 'u-v'

So, we have, subtracting the given vectors,

u - v = <-6,3> - <1,9>

i.e. u - v = <-6-1,3-9>

i.e. u - v = <-7,-6>

Thus, the resultant vector 'u - v' is <-7,-6>.

Hence, option D is correct.
