Ifa→-b→=2c→,a→+b→=4c→andc=3.0i^+4.0j^then what are (a)a^and (b)b^?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The vector a→is role="math" localid="1660890164979" 9i^+12l^.
  2. The vector b→is 3i^+4j^.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

a→-b→=2c→…… (1)

a→+b→=4c→…… (2)

c→=3i^+4j^…… (3)

02

Understanding the concept

Using simple mathematical operations and laws of vector addition and subtraction, we can find the required answers.

Formula:

a→+b→=ax+bxi→+ay+byj→

a→+b→=ax-bxi→+ay-byj→

03

(a) Calculate the vector a⇀

To determine the vector a→, we need to add the equation (1) and (3) first.

We add the two equations in vectors as follows:

a→-b→+a→+b→=2c→+4c→2a→=6c→a→=3c→

Substituting the value of c→from equation (3),

a→=33i^+4j^=9i^+12j^

Therefore, the vector a→is 9i^+12l^.

04

(b) Calculate the vector b→

To determine the magnitude of b→, we need to subtract the equation (1) from (2).

a→+b→-a→-b→=4c→-2c→2b→=2c→b→=c→

Substituting the value ofc→ from equation (3),

role="math" localid="1660890562947" b→=3i^+4j^

Therefore, the vector b→is 3i^+4j^.
