Exercise · ZW-VECTOR-IN-RN-001 · ★☆☆ Basic
Compute \(u+v\) for \(u=(1,2,3)\) and \(v=(4,-1,0)\).
Choose one option.
Show answer
- B. \((5,\,1,\,3)\)
Explanation
Addition is componentwise: \(1+4,\ 2+(-1),\ 3+0\).
Review the concept: Vector in ℝⁿ
A vector in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) is an ordered list of \(n\) real numbers, which geometrically looks like an arrow from the origin.
\[x=(x_1,\dots,x_n),\quad cx=(cx_1,\dots,cx_n)\]
