Math Problem Statement

Let vectors A⃗ =(2,−1,1)A→=(2,−1,1), B⃗ =(3,0,5)B→=(3,0,5), and C⃗ =(1,4,−2)C→=(1,4,−2), where (x,y,z)(x,y,z) are the components of the vectors along i^i^, j^j^, and k^k^ respectively. Calculate the following: Express your answer as an ordered triplet of components (x,y,z)(x,y,z) with commas to separate the components.

Solution

To solve this problem, you need to clarify what specific calculation you want to perform with the vectors A\mathbf{A}, B\mathbf{B}, and C\mathbf{C}. Here are some possible calculations:

  1. Vector addition: A+B\mathbf{A} + \mathbf{B} or A+B+C\mathbf{A} + \mathbf{B} + \mathbf{C}
  2. Vector subtraction: AB\mathbf{A} - \mathbf{B}, AC\mathbf{A} - \mathbf{C}, etc.
  3. Dot product: AB\mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{B}, AC\mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{C}, etc.
  4. Cross product: A×B\mathbf{A} \times \mathbf{B}, A×C\mathbf{A} \times \mathbf{C}, etc.

Could you please specify which operation you'd like to perform?
