Answer:


\langle 1,\, 2\rangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both
U and
V are two-dimensional vectors. In other words, each of them has two components. Each component is a number.

When adding two vectors, add each component separately. The sum should include the same number of components as the vectors that are being added.

Since
U and
V has two components each, their sum,
(U + V), would also include two components.

Sum the first components of
U and
V to find the first component of
(U + V):
4 + (-3) = 1.

Similarly, sum the second components of
U and
V to find the second component of
(U + V):
-6 + 8 = 2.

Hence,
(U + V) = \langle 1,\, 2 \rangle.
