Answer:

w = ( -2, -3 )T


Two Legged Trip

Different Trips

The diagram shows w = u + v, where u = ( -3, 2 )T,     v = ( 1, -5 )T,     and     w = ( -2, -3 )T

Now consider an ant that starts at the origin and walks along vector u, then walks along vector v, to end up at the tip of w.

A second ant starts at the origin and walks along vector w to its end. Both ants end up at the same point.



QUESTION 16:

Did the two ants walk the same distance?
