Find the sum of the vectors \(\vec{a}\)=6\(\hat{i}\)-3\(\hat{j}\) and \(\vec{b}\)=5\(\hat{i}\)+4\(\hat{j}\).(a) 11\(\hat{i}\)+\(\hat{j}\)(b) 11\(\hat{i}\)–\(\hat{j}\)(c) -11\(\hat{i}\)+\(\hat{j}\)(d) \(\hat{i}\)+\(\hat{j}\)I had been asked this question in semester exam.This question is from Addition of Vectors in section Vector Algebra of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) 11\(\hat{i}\)+\(\hat{j}\)

The EXPLANATION: Given that, \(\VEC{a}\)=6\(\hat{i}\)-3\(\hat{j}\) and \(\vec{b}\)=5\(\hat{i}\)+4\(\hat{j}\)

The sum of the VECTORS is given by \(\vec{a}+\vec{b}\).

∴\(\vec{a}+\vec{b}\)=(6\(\hat{i}\)-3\(\hat{i}\))+(5\(\hat{i}\)+4\(\hat{j}\))

=(6+5) \(\hat{i}\)+(-3+4)\(\hat{j}\)

=11\(\hat{i}\)+\(\hat{j}\)
