For the vectors u = & v= , find 3u+2v & u-v

u = -3i + 4j


v = 4i +
5j


3u + 2v = 3(-3i + 4j) + 2(4i +
5j)


We'll open the
brackets:


3u + 2v = -9i + 12j + 8i +
10j


We'll combine like
terms:


3u + 2v = -i +
22j


We'll calculate u - v:


u -
v = -3i + 4j - 4i - 5j


We'll combine like
terms:


u - v = -7i -
j


The results for the requested vectorial
expresisons are: 3u + 2v = -i + 22j and u - v = -7i -
j.

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
