(Review: ) Are vector addition and column matrix addition both associative?

Answer:

Yes.


Practice

Please use a browser that supports "canvas"
vector R: + vector S: = vector T:
     

Now it is your turn. Here are two vectors:

R = ( 4, 3 )T
S = ( 1, 2 )T

form the sum:

T = R + S

Do it by column matrix addition, and by the head-to-tail rule. In the picture, click close to the arrowhead of the vector you wish to change and drag it to its new location.
