Question 665255: Can someone please help me with this i really don't know how to do vectors, i have tried part a but i dont know if its right.
Consider the two vectors a = î + ĵ and b = 2î – ĵ .
(a) Calculate a + b and a – b .
a + b = 2 î^2 + ĵ^2
a – b = 2
(b) On a Cartesian plane, illustrate the vector addition a + b and the vector subtraction a – b. Clearly label your diagrams with all its appropriate vectors.
(c) Calculate the magnitude of a and the magnitude of b.
(d) Find the scalar product a•b.
(e) Find the orthogonal projection of vector a onto vector b. That is, find the vector projb a .

Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Consider the two vectors a = i + j and b = 2i - j
(a) Calculate a + b and a – b
a + b:
2 + 1 = 3
1 - 1 = 0
--> 3i
==========================
a – b:
1 - 2 = -1
1 - (-1) = 2
--> -i + 2j
================
(b) On a Cartesian plane, illustrate the vector addition a + b and the vector subtraction a – b. Clearly label your diagrams with all its appropriate vectors.
(c) Calculate the magnitude of a and the magnitude of b
a:
b:
-----------------------------------
(d) Find the scalar product a•b
a•b = 1*2 + 1*-1 = 1
--------------------------
(e) Find the orthogonal projection of vector a onto vector b. That is, find the vector projb a
That's the dot product, = 1
