The question, in short
Work out two vector calculations: add the column vectors (6, −3) and (4, −5), and multiply the column vector (3, −2) by 6.
Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.
Part (a) · 1 mark
Add the column vectors (6, −3) and (4, −5) and give the result.
- 1(6 + 4, −3 + (−5)) = column vector (10, −8)
Answercolumn vector (10, −8)
Part (b) · 1 mark
Multiply the column vector (3, −2) by the scalar 6 and give the result.
- 1(6 × 3, 6 × (−2)) = column vector (18, −12)
Answercolumn vector (18, −12)
