Question

If , and , what is ?

Answer

In order to solve this problem, we need to know how to subtract vectors. It is simply subtracting the x components and the y components.

$x=(x: \mbox{component in}: v) -(x:\mbox{component in}: w )$

$y=(y: \mbox{component in}: v) -(y:\mbox{component in}: w )$

$(x: \mbox{component in}: v)=-3$

$(x:\mbox{component in}: w)=2$

$(y: \mbox{component in}: v)=4$

$(y: \mbox{component in}: w)=3$

So our final answer is .
