Answer:

The sum of the two vectors is the vector <-0.5 , 4+3.5\sqrt{3} >

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal component (x) of a vector whose magnitude is b units and its direction is Ф° is b cos Ф

The vertical component (y) of a vector whose magnitude is b and its direction is Ф is b sin Ф

The vector is <b cos Ф , b sin Ф>

∵ The vector goes 7 units at an angle \frac{2\pi }{3}

- That means its magnitude is 7 and its direction is  \frac{2\pi }{3}

∴ x = 7 cos(  \frac{2\pi }{3} )

∴ y = 7 sin(  \frac{2\pi }{3} )

∵ cos(  \frac{2\pi }{3} ) =  -\frac{1}{2}

∵ sin(  \frac{2\pi }{3} ) =  \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

- Substitute them in x and y

∴ x = (7)( -\frac{1}{2} )

∴ x = -3.5

∴ y = (7)( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} )

∴ y = 3.5\sqrt{3}

∴ The vector is <-3.5 , 3.5\sqrt{3}>

Now lets add the vectors by adding xs and ys components

∵ <3 , 4> + <-3.5 , 3.5\sqrt{3} > = <3 + -3.5 , 4 + 3.5\sqrt{3} >

∴  <3 , 4> + <-3.5 , 3.5\sqrt{3}> = <-0.5 , 4+3.5\sqrt{3} >

∴ The sum of the two vectors is the vector <-0.5 , 4+3.5\sqrt{3} >
