The question asks to compute \(4A + 5B\), where the matrices \(A\) and \(B\) are given as follows:

\[
A = \begin{bmatrix} 9 \\ 9 \end{bmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix}
\]

To solve for \(4A + 5B\), follow these steps:

### Step 1: Multiply the matrices by their respective scalars:
- \(4A = 4 \times \begin{bmatrix} 9 \\ 9 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 4 \times 9 \\ 4 \times 9 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 36 \\ 36 \end{bmatrix}\)
- \(5B = 5 \times \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 \times 2 \\ 5 \times -1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 10 \\ -5 \end{bmatrix}\)

### Step 2: Add the resulting matrices:
\[
4A + 5B = \begin{bmatrix} 36 \\ 36 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 10 \\ -5 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 36 + 10 \\ 36 - 5 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 46 \\ 31 \end{bmatrix}
\]

### Final Answer:
\[
4A + 5B = \begin{bmatrix} 46 \\ 31 \end{bmatrix}
\]
