# Vector - basic operations

There are given points A [-9; -2] B [2; 16] C [16; -2] and D [12; 18]

a. Determine the coordinates of the vectors u=AB v=CD s=DB
b. Calculate the sum of the vectors u + v
c. Calculate difference of vectors u-v
d. Determine the coordinates of the vector w = -7.u

Result

ux =  11
uy =  18
vx =  -4
vy =  20
sx =  10
sy =  2
(u+v)x =  7
(u+v)y =  38
(u-v)x =  15
(u-v)y =  -2
wx =  -77
wy =  -126

#### Solution:

$u = (2-(-9); 16-(-2)) = (11; 18)$
$u_{ y }=16-(-2)=18$
$s = (12-(2); 18-(16)) = (10; 2)$
$v_{ y }=18-(-2)=20$
$s_{ x }=12-(2)=10$
$s_{ y }=18-(16)=2$
$u+v = (11+(-4); 18+(20)) = (7; 38)$
$(u+v)_{ y }=18+(20)=38$
$u-v = (11-(-4); 18-(20)) = (15; -2)$
$(u-v)_{ y }=18-(20)=-2$
$w = -7.u = (-7\cdot (11); -7\cdot (18)) = (-77; -126)$
$w_{ y }=-7 \cdot \ (18)=-126$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!
