Answer

$3$

Work Step by Step

Find the scalar, $\mathbf{u}\cdot \mathbf{v}+\mathbf{u}\cdot \mathbf{w}$ as, $\begin{align} & \mathbf{u}\cdot \mathbf{v}+\mathbf{u}\cdot \mathbf{w=}\left( 2\mathbf{i-j} \right)\cdot \left( 3\mathbf{i+j} \right)+\left( 2\mathbf{i-j} \right)\cdot \left( \mathbf{i+}4\mathbf{j} \right) \\ & =2\cdot 3+\left( -1 \right)\cdot 1+2\cdot 1+\left( -1 \right)\cdot 4 \\ & =6-1+2-4 \\ & =3 \end{align}$ Hence, the scalar of $\mathbf{u}\cdot \mathbf{v}+\mathbf{u}\cdot \mathbf{w}$ is $3$.
