Answer:
The sum of vectors is <5,2>.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given vectors are <-1,4> and <6,-2>.
We need to find the sum of the given vectors and illustrate geometrically.
Plot the point (-1,4) on a coordinate plane and draw a vector <a> from (0,0) to (-1,4).
Plot the point (6,-2) on a coordinate plane and draw a vector <b> from (0,0) to (6,-2).
Now complete the parallelogram and the diagonal represents the sum of both vectors.
The end point of the diagonal is (5,2). It means sum of vectors is <5,2>.
Check the sum of vectors:
Therefore, the sum of vectors is <5,2>.
Reduce each ratio to its minimum expression to find if they are equal.
35:28
10:8
Since both ratios reduce to 5:4, they are equivalent.
Another way to check a:b is equivalent to c:d, is that a*d = b*c
In this case, this will be true if 35 times 8 is equal to 10 times 28:
Since both products are equal, then the ratios are equivalent.
