Math Problem Statement
Given the vectors u with rightwards arrow on top equals open angle brackets short dash 3 comma space short dash 2 close angle brackets and v with rightwards arrow on top equals open angle brackets 5 comma space short dash 7 close angle brackets, find 4 u with rightwards arrow on top minus 2 v with rightwards arrow on top.
Solution
To find , we need to multiply each vector by its scalar and then subtract them.
Given:
Step 1: Multiply by 4
Step 2: Multiply by 2
Step 3: Subtract from
