Q:

Find the quantity if v=5i-7j and w=3i+2j

Accepted Solution

A:
We desire to discover the value of ||v+w|| 
if v=5i-7j and w=3i+2j 
|r| =../r.+..r .....√...1....2 
if r = r(1)i +r(2)j 
We first find the value of 
v+ w by adding v(1) +w(1) = 5+3 = 8 and by adding v(2) +w(2) = -7+2 = -5 
so v+w = 8i -5j 
and 
|v+w| = √8²+(-5)² 
=√64 + 25 
=√89
= 9.43398113
