Answer

a) $\lt -2, -\frac{16}{3}\gt$ b) $\lt 24,75 \gt$ c) $\lt 11, 33\gt$ d) $\lt 34, 109\gt$

Work Step by Step

$u = \lt -3, -8\gt$ $v = \lt 8, 25\gt$ a) $\frac{2}{3}u$ $= \frac{2}{3} \lt -3, -8\gt$ $ = \frac{2}{3}(-3i -8j)$ $= \frac{-6i}{3} + \frac{-16j}{3}$ $= \lt -2, -\frac{16}{3}\gt$ b) $3v$ $= 3\lt 8, 25\gt$ $= 3(8i +25j)$ $= 24i + 75j$ $= \lt 24,75 \gt$ c) $v - u$ $= \lt 8, 25\gt - \lt -3, -8\gt$ $= (8i +25j) - (-3i -8j)$ $= 8i + 25j + 3i + 8j$ $= 11i + 33j$ $= \lt 11, 33\gt$ d) $2u + 5v$ $= 2 \lt -3, -8\gt + 5\lt 8, 25\gt$ $= 2(-3i -8j) + 5(8i +25j)$ $= -6i - 16j + 40i + 125j$ $= 34i + 109j$ $= \lt 34, 109\gt$
