Answer

$U+V=(8,0).$ $U-V=(0,8).$ $2U-3V=(4,-20).$

Work Step by Step

We have $U=\langle 4,4\rangle, V=\langle 4,-4\rangle.$ First find $U+V$, \begin{align*} U+V=(4,4)+(4,-4)\\ &=(4+4,4-4)\\ &=(8,0). \end{align*} Hence, $U+V=(8,0).$ Then find $U-V$, \begin{align*} U-V&=(4,4)-(4,-4)\\ &=(4-4,4-(-4))\\ &=(0,8). \end{align*} Hence, $U-V=(0,8).$\\ In the end find, \begin{align*} 2U-3V=2(4,4)-3(4,-4)\\ &=(8,8)-(12,-12) &=(8-12,8-(-12))\\ &=(4,-20). \end{align*} Hence, $2U-3V=(4,-20).$
