Answer

\begin{align*} U+V&=(-1,3)\\ U-V&=(9,-1)\\ 2U-3V&=(23,-4). \end{align*}

Work Step by Step

We have $U=\langle 4,1\rangle, V=\langle -5,2\rangle.$ First find $U+V$, \begin{align*} U+V&=(4,1)+(-5,2)\\ &=(4+(-5),1+2)\\ &=(-1,3). \end{align*} Hence, $U+V=(-1,3).$ Then find $U-V$, \begin{align*} U-V&=(4,1)-(-5,2)\\ &=(4-(-5),1-2)\\ &=(9,-1). \end{align*} Hence, $U-V=(9,-1).$ In the end find, \begin{align*} 2U-3V&=2(4,1)-3(-5,2)\\ &=(8,2)-(-15,6)\\ &=(8-(-15),2-6)\\ &=(23,-4). \end{align*}
