Answer

(a) $u-v =(-6,-4,6,1,9).$ (b) $2(u+3v) =(36,56,-12,26,-22).$ (c) $2v-u =(12,12,-9,2,-14).$

Work Step by Step

Consider the vectors ${u}=(0,4,3,4,4), \quad {v}=(6,8,-3,3,-5)$ (a) \begin{align*} u-v &=(0,4,3,4,4)-(6,8,-3,3,-5)\\ &=(-6,-4,6,1,9). \end{align*} (b) \begin{align*} 2(u+3v)&=2((0,4,3,4,4)+3(6,8,-3,3,-5))\\ &=2((0,4,3,4,4)+ (18,24,-9,9,-15))\\ &=2(18,28,-6,13,-11)\\ &=(36,56,-12,26,-22). \end{align*} (c) \begin{align*} 2v-u &=2(6,8,-3,3,-5)-(0,4,3,4,4)\\ &=(12,16,-6,6,-10)-(0,4,3,4,4)\\ &=(12,12,-9,2,-14). \end{align*}
