Answer

$\sqrt 5$ $3i - j$ $i + 3j$ $4i + 2j$ $4i + 7j$

Work Step by Step

This question asks to find $|u|, u + v, u - v, 2u, 3u-2v$ Given $u = 2i + j$ and $v = i - 2j$ $u = <2, 1>$ and $v = <1, -2>$ $|u| = \sqrt {2^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt 5$ $u + v = <2 + 1, 1 + (-2)> = <3, -1> = 3i - j$ $u - v = <2 - 1, 1 - (-2)> = <1, 3> = i + 3j$ $2u = <2(2), 2(1)> = <4, 2> = 4i + 2j$ $3u - 2v = <3(2) - 2(1), 3(1) - 2(-2)> = <4, 7> = 4i + 7j$
