In Exercises $\PageIndex{1}$ – $\PageIndex{4}$ , vectors $\vec{x}$ and $\vec{y}$ are given. Sketch $\vec{x}$ , $\vec{y}$ , $\vec{x}+\vec{y}$ , and $\vec{x}-\vec{y}$ on the same Cartesian axes.

Exercise $\PageIndex{1}$

$\vec{x}=\left[\begin{array}{c}{1}\\{-1}\\{2}\end{array}\right],\:\vec{y}=\left[\begin{array}{c}{2}\\{3}\\{2}\end{array}\right]$

Answer

$\vec{x}+\vec{y}=\left[\begin{array}{c}{3}\\{2}\\{4}\end{array}\right],\:\vec{x}-\vec{y}=\left[\begin{array}{c}{-1}\\{-4}\\{0}\end{array}\right]$

Sketches will vary slightly depending on orientation.

In Exercises $\PageIndex{9}$ - $\PageIndex{12}$ , a vector $\vec{x}$ and a scalar $a$ are given. Using Definition 3D Vector Length, compute the lengths of $\vec{x}$ and $a\vec{x}$ , then compare these lengths.

Exercise $\PageIndex{9}$

$\vec{x}=\left[\begin{array}{c}{1}\\{-2}\\{5}\end{array}\right],\: a=2$

Answer: $||\vec{x}||=\sqrt{30}$ , $||a\vec{x}||=\sqrt{120}=2\sqrt{30}$

Exercise $\PageIndex{10}$

$\vec{x}=\left[\begin{array}{c}{-3}\\{4}\\{3}\end{array}\right],\: a=-1$

Answer: $||\vec{x}||=\sqrt{34}$ , $||a\vec{x}||=\sqrt{34}$

Exercise $\PageIndex{11}$

$\vec{x}=\left[\begin{array}{c}{7}\\{2}\\{1}\end{array}\right],\: a=5$

Answer: $||\vec{x}||=\sqrt{54}=3\sqrt{6}$ , $||a\vec{x}||=\sqrt{270}=15\sqrt{6}$

Exercise $\PageIndex{12}$

$\vec{x}=\left[\begin{array}{c}{1}\\{2}\\{-2}\end{array}\right],\: a=3$
