Determine the coordinate representation of the vectors shown in the figure (i.e. vectors using the elementary vectors \(\vec{i}\) and \(\vec{j}\) ) and the lengths of the vectors. Give all answers as precise values. E.g. \(\sqrt{17}\) is written as sqrt(17). \(\vec{u} = \square \vec{i} + \square \vec{j}\) \(|\vec{u}| = \square\) \(\vec{v} = \square \vec{i} + \square \vec{j}\) \(|\vec{v}| = \square\) \(\vec{w} = \square \vec{i} + \square \vec{j}\) \(|\vec{w}| = \square\)

Step 1
To determine the coordinate representation of vector u, we need to find the x-component and y-component of vector u. Looking at the figure, we can see that the x-component of vector u is 3 units to the right, and the y-component is 2 units up. Therefore, the Show more…

Use the following vectors to answer each part. Give exact simplified answers. u = 7i + 5j - 9k and w = -3i + 5j. (a) 2u + 3w = (b) ||u + w|| = (c) (u · w)w = (d) Find the vector component of w that is parallel to 7j. Express your answer as a vector. (e) Find a unit vector in the opposite direction of u.
