Answer

$$\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}=\left(1+\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2},\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)$$

Work Step by Step

$\|\mathbf{u}\|=1\hspace{5mm}\theta_u=0^\circ$ $\|\mathbf{v}\|=3\hspace{5mm}\theta_v=45^\circ$ $u_x=\|\mathbf{u}\|\cos{\theta_u}=1\times\cos{0}=1$ $u_y=\|\mathbf{u}\|\sin{\theta_u}=1\times\sin{0}=0$ $v_x=\|\mathbf{v}\|\cos{\theta_v}=3\times\cos{45}=\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}$ $v_y=\|\mathbf{v}\|\sin{\theta_v}=3\times\sin{45}=\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}$ Therefore, $$\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}=\left(1+\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2},\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)$$
