Question of the Day

Answer today's ACT question, reveal the full explanation, then keep the streak going with a new question every day.

If v=9,3\mathbf{v} = \langle 9, -3 \rangle and w=2,4\mathbf{w} = \langle -2, 4 \rangle, what is v+w\mathbf{v} + \mathbf{w}?

  1. \langle 7, 7 \rangle
  2. \langle 11, 1 \rangle
  3. \langle 7, -7 \rangle
  4. \langle 7, 1 \rangle (correct answer)

Explanation: This problem asks for vector addition v + w where v = ⟨9, -3⟩ and w = ⟨-2, 4⟩. For vector addition, angle brackets a comma b plus angle brackets c comma d equals angle brackets a plus c comma b plus d. Calculating: v plus w equals angle brackets 9 comma negative 3 plus angle brackets negative 2 comma 4 equals angle brackets 9 plus negative 2 comma negative 3 plus 4 equals angle brackets 7 comma 1. Add corresponding components.
