Math Problem Statement
Solution
In this problem, we’re given two dotted vectors on a coordinate grid, and Diego has drawn a third vector in a solid line, which represents a result of a complex operation involving these vectors.
Let’s break down what we see:
- The first vector in dotted lines appears to go from the origin to , which can be represented as .
- The second vector starts at the origin and points to , represented as .
The solid vector Diego drew seems to represent the result of a complex operation on these two vectors. Looking at the direction and length, it resembles a subtraction operation where we combine the two dotted vectors.
Now, examining each option:
- Option A: - This is a multiplication operation, which would alter the length and angle significantly, not matching the drawn vector.
- Option B: - This results in an entirely different complex vector, which doesn’t match the solid line.
- Option C: - This would change the vector significantly, not fitting the observed vector.
- Option D:
