$\left \langle 1,7,3\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 1,9,6\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 1,1,5\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 3,2,8\right \rangle$

Correct answer:

$\left \langle 3,2,8\right \rangle$

Explanation:

The formula for adding vectors is

$a+b=\left \langle a_1+b_1,a_2+b_2,a_3+b_3\right \rangle$ .

Plugging in the values we were given, we get

$\left \langle (2+1),(0+2),(5+3)\right \rangle=\left \langle 3,2,8\right \rangle$

Example Question #241 : Vectors And Vector Operations

Find the sum, u+v

u=<4,16>

v=<2,4>

Possible Answers:

<6,20>

<8,64>

<2,12>

Correct answer:

<6,20>

Explanation:

The sum of two vectors

a=<a_1, a_2>

b=<b_1, b_2>

is defined as

a+b=<a_1+b_1, a_2+b_2>

Explanation:

To find the sum $\begin{bmatrix} a&b \\ c&d \end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix} e& f\\ g &h \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} a+e& b+f\\ c+g&d+h \end{bmatrix}$ . Using the matrices in the problem statement, we get $\begin{bmatrix} 1+3& 3+9\\ 4+17 &0+38 \end{bmatrix}$ = $\begin{bmatrix} 4&12 \\ 21 &38 \end{bmatrix}$

Example Question #32 : Vector Addition

Solve:

$\left \langle 10, x\sin^2(y)\right \rangle+ \left \langle x, x\cos^2(y)\right \rangle$

Possible Answers:

$\left \langle 10x, x^2 \right \rangle$

10+2x

$10x+x^2\sin^2(y)\cos^2(y)$

$\left \langle 10+x, x\right \rangle$

Correct answer:

$\left \langle 10+x, x\right \rangle$

Explanation:

When adding vectors, we simply add the corresponding components together:

$\left \langle a, b\right \rangle + \left \langle c, d\right \rangle= \left \langle a+c, b+d\right \rangle$

Our answer is

$\left \langle 10+x, x\right \rangle$

Note that our final answer is a vector.

Example Question #37 : Vector Addition

Solve:

$\left \langle z^2e^z, \cos(x)\right \rangle+ \left \langle ze^z, \sin(x)\right \rangle$

Possible Answers:

$e^z(z^2+z)+ \cos(x)+\sin(x)$

$\left \langle e^z(z^2+z),1\right \rangle$

$\left \langle e^{2z}z^2z, \cos(x)\sin(x)\right \rangle$

$\left \langle e^z(z^2+z), \cos(x)+\sin(x)\right \rangle$

Correct answer:

$\left \langle e^z(z^2+z), \cos(x)+\sin(x)\right \rangle$

Explanation:

The sum of two vectors is the vector given by the sums of the respective components (for example, $\left \langle a, b\right \rangle+\left \langle c, d\right \rangle=\left \langle a+c, b+d\right \rangle$ ).

Our final answer is

$\left \langle e^z(z^2+z), \cos(x)+\sin(x)\right \rangle$

Example Question #38 : Vector Addition

Perform the following vector operation: $\left \langle 2xy,3y,z^3\right \rangle+\left \langle 7xy,9y,2z^3\right \rangle$

Possible Answers:

$\left \langle xy,y,3z^2\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 9xy,12y,3z^3\right \rangle$

Correct answer:

$\left \langle 9xy,12y,3z^3\right \rangle$

Explanation:

The formula for adding two vectors $a=\left \langle x_1,y_1,z_1\right \rangle$ and $b=\left \langle x_2,y_2,z_2\right \rangle$ is $a+b=\left \langle x_1+x_2,y_1+y_2,z_1+z_2\right \rangle$ . Using the vectors from the problem statement, this becomes $\left \langle 2xy+7xy,3y+9y,z^3+2z^3\right \rangle=\left \langle 9xy,12y,3z^3\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 4\cos(yz), e^z+2e^x\right \rangle$

Correct answer:

$\left \langle 4\cos(yz), e^z+2e^x\right \rangle$

Explanation:

To add two vectors, we simply add the corresponding components (for example, $\left \langle a, b\right \rangle+ \left \langle c, d\right \rangle=\left \langle a+c, b+d\right \rangle$ )

Our final answer is

$\left \langle 4\cos(yz), e^z+2e^x\right \rangle$

Example Question #40 : Vector Addition

Find the sum of the vectors $\left \langle 3,y^2,\sin(z)\right \rangle$ and $\left \langle 5,5y^2,3\sin(z)\right \rangle$

Possible Answers:

$\left \langle 6,6y^2,4\cos(z)\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 8,6y^2,4\sin(z)\right \rangle$

Correct answer:

$\left \langle 8,6y^2,4\sin(z)\right \rangle$

Explanation:

To find the sum of two vectors $a=\left \langle x_1,y_1,z_1\right \rangle$ and $b=\left \langle x_2,y_2,z_2\right \rangle$ is $a+b=\left \langle x_1+x_2,y_1+y_2,z_1+z_2\right \rangle$ . Using the vectors we were given, we get $a+b=\left \langle 3+5,y^2+5y^2,\sin(z)+3\sin(z)\right \rangle=\left \langle 8,6y^2,4\sin(z)\right \rangle$
