Given that t + u = (1,1), where t = (m,3), u = (2,n) and m and n are constants, find the values of m and n

Question

it is a vector chapter and t+u = (1,1) as column vector , t = (m,3) as column vector and u = (2,n) column vector

Answer 1

If you add up the given values for t and for u, you get a vector containing m and n.

And you are told that that vector equals (1,1).

That gives you equations for m and n.

t + u = (m+2, 3+n) = (1,1)

m+2 = 1 therefore m = -1

3+n = 1 therefore n = -2
