Answer

$\vec{u}=\vec{i}+4\vec{j}$

Work Step by Step

$\vec{u}=\langle1,4\rangle$ To write $\vec{u}$ in terms of $\vec{i}$ and $\vec{j}$, just write the first component of $\vec{u}$ times $\vec{i}$ plus the second component of $\vec{u}$ times $\vec{j}$: $\vec{u}=\langle1,4\rangle=\vec{i}+4\vec{j}$
