Answer:

< 40, 28, 72 >

Explanation:

Given

y = < 2, 6, 8 > and z = < 7, - 2, 6 > , then

6y + 4z

= 6 < 2, 6, 8 > + 4 < 7, - 2, 6 >

Multiply each component by the scalar quantity

= < 6(2), 6(6), 6(8) > + < 4(7), 4(- 2), 4(6) >

= < 12, 36, 48 > + < 28, - 8, 24 >

Add corresponding components

= < 12 + 28, 36 - 8, 48 + 24 >

= < 40, 28, 72 >
