    Study Notes

    Vector Addition and Subtraction

    • The result of adding two vectors A = 3i + 4j and B = 2i - 5j is (3i + 4j) + (2i - 5j) = (3 + 2)i + (4 - 5)j = 5i - j.

    Vector Subtraction

    • The result of subtracting vector B = 4i - 2j from vector A = 2i + 3j is (2i + 3j) - (4i - 2j) = (2 - 4)i + (3 + 2)j = -2i + 5j.

    Vector Magnitude

    • The magnitude of the vector A = 3i + 4j is √(3² + 4²) = √(9 + 16) = √25.

    Vector Directions

    • If two vectors have the same direction, their addition results in a vector with the same direction, but with a magnitude equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the individual vectors.
    • If two vectors have the same direction, their subtraction results in a vector with the same direction, but with a magnitude equal to the difference of the magnitudes of the individual vectors.
