Question
Simplify the given vector expression. Indicate which properties in Theorem 1.1 you use.$$-3(a-c)+2(a+2 b)+3(c-b)$$
Step 1
This is done using the distributive property, which states that $c \cdot (u + v) = cu + cv$. Applying this property, we get: $$-3(a-c)+2(a+2 b)+3(c-b) = -3a + 3c + 2a + 4b + 3c - 3b$$ Show more…
