Question

Given vectors u = (1,7) and v = (2,1), find the sum u + v and write the resultin component form.

Answer 1

Given the vectors:

`\begin{gathered} u=(1,7) \\ v=(2,1) \end{gathered}`

The sum of the given vectors will be:

`u+v=(1,7)+(2,1)=(1+2,7+1)=(3,8)`

So, the answer will be: u + v = ( 3, 8)
