Question

If a =⟨ – 7,2⟩ and b =⟨7,2⟩, find the difference a – b . How do u solve it and what's the answer

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the difference between vectors a and b, we subtract the corresponding components of the vectors.

Given that a = ⟨ -7, 2 ⟩ and b = ⟨ 7, 2 ⟩, we can calculate the difference a - b as follows:

a - b = ⟨ -7, 2 ⟩ - ⟨ 7, 2 ⟩

Subtracting the corresponding components:

a - b = ⟨ -7 - 7, 2 - 2 ⟩

Simplifying:

a - b = ⟨ -14, 0 ⟩

Therefore, the difference a - b is ⟨ -14, 0 ⟩.
