Answer

$<7, -1, -7>$ $<5, 1, -9>$ $10$ $<5/2, 2, -8>$

Work Step by Step

The question asks for $ u + v$, $u - v$, and $|u|$, $0.75u - 2 v$ Given $u = 6i - 8k$ and $v = i - j + k$ $u = <6, 0, -8>$ and $v = <1, -1, 1>$ $u + v = <6 + 1, 0 + (-1), -8 + 1> = <7, -1, -7>$ $u - v = <6 - 1, 0 - (-1), -8 - 1> = <5, 1, -9>$ $|u| = \sqrt {6^2 + 0^2 + (-8)^2} = \sqrt 100 = 10$ $0.75 u - 2v = <0.75 (6) - 2 (1), 0.75 (0) - 2(-1), 0.75 (-8) - 2 (1)>$ $= <5/2, 2, -8>$
