If u = <-7, 6> and v = <-4, 17>, which vector can be added to u + 3v to get the unit vector <1, 0> as the resultant vector?
A. w = <18, -57>B. w = <18, -45>C. w = <20, -57>D. w = <20, -45>

[tex] \bf \begin{cases} u=<-7,6>\\ v=<-4,17> \end{cases}~\hspace{7em}3v\implies 3<-4,17>\implies <-12,51> \\\\\\ u+3v\implies <-7,6>+<-12,51>\implies <-7-12,6+51> \\\\\\ <-19,57> \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ <-19,57>+<x,y>=<1,0>\implies \begin{cases} -19+x=1\implies &x=20\\ 57+y=0\implies &y=-57 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill <20,-57>~\hfill [/tex]

The value of the vector w is <20, -57>.

Vector Addition

Whenever we add two vectors such that [tex]\bold{<x_1,\ y_1>}[/tex] and [tex]\bold{<x_2,\ y_2>}[/tex], we add the corresponding component of one vector to the corresponding component of another vector, and the result vector is known as the resultant vector.

Therefore, [tex]\bold{<x_1,\ y_1>+<x_1,\ y_1>=<(x_1+x_2),\ (y_1+y_2)>}[/tex]

Vector Multiplication

Whenever we multiply a vector such as <x, y> with a whole number a, then each component of the vector is multiplied by the whole number. therefore,

[tex]\bold{a \times <x,\ y>= <ax,\ ay>}[/tex]

For Vector U, V, and W

Given to us,

u = <-7, 6>,

v = <-4, 17>,

resultant, R =  <1, 0>

We can write it as,

[tex]\bold{\underset{u}{\rightarrow}+\underset{3v}{\rightarrow}+\underset{w}{\rightarrow}\ =\ \underset{R}{\rightarrow}}[/tex]

substituting the values,

[tex]\bold{<-7,\ 6>+3<-4,\ 17>+<x_w,\ y_w>=<1,\ 0>}[/tex]

[tex]\bold{<-7,\ 6>+<-12,\ 51>+<x_w,\ y_w>=<1,\ 0>}[/tex]

[tex]\bold{<-19,\ 57>+<x_w,\ y_w>=<1,\ 0>}[/tex]

[tex]\bold{<x_w,\ y_w>=<1,\ 0>-<-19,\ 57>}[/tex]

[tex]\bold{<x_w,\ y_w>=<20,\ -57>}[/tex]

Hence, the value of the vector w is <20, -57>.
