A rock climber's rope is supported with two anchors. One of the anchors can be represented by the vector a =-(-3, 5, 12). The other anchor can be represented by the vector b= -(-5, 6, 10). What single vector can represent the sum of vectors?

(-2.1.-2)
(2.-1.2)
(-8, 11,22)
(8.-11.-22)

Answer: ( 8, -11, -22)

Explanation:

As per the question, a rock climber's rope is supported with two anchors and one anchor can be represented by the vector a = -(-3, 5, 12) and the other anchor can be represented by the vector b= -(-5, 6, 10).

We need to find a single vector that can represent the sum of vectors.

To find the single vector that represents the sum of vectors, we need to add the two given vectors a and b. vector a = -(-3, 5, 12) = (3, -5, -12) vector b = -(-5, 6, 10) = (5, -6, -10)

Adding vectors a and b, we get: (3, -5, -12) + (5, -6, -10) = (8, -11, -22)

Therefore, the single vector that represents the sum of vectors is (8, -11, -22).

Hence, the correct answer is (8, -11, -22).
