EXAMPLE 3 | Algebraic Operations Using Components
If v = (1, -3, 2) and w = (4, 2, 1), then
v+w=(5,-1, 3),
2v = (2,-6,4)
-w = (-4,-2, -1),
v-w=v+(-w) = (-3, -5,1)
The following theorem summarizes the most important properties of ve
tions.
Theorem 3.1.1
If u, v, and w are vectors in R", and if k and m are scalars, then:
(a) u + v=v+u
(b) (u+v)+w=u+ (v + w)
(c) u+0=0+u=u
(d) u + (-u) = 0
(e) k(u + v) = ku + kv
(f) (k+m)u = ku + mu
(g) k(mu) = (km)u
(h) lu= u
We will prove part (b) and leave some of the other proofs as exercises.
Proof (b) Let u = (U₁, U₂, ..., Un), V = (U₁, U₂, ..., Un), and w = (W1, W2,...,U
(u + v) + w = ((U₁, U₂,..., Un) + (V₁, V₂,..., Un)) + (W₁, W₂,..., wn)
