Similar to subtraction of real numbers, to subtract a vector means to add the opposite vector. Here is an example:

Subtract (5, 3) - (2, -2)

This is equivalent to (5, 3) + (-2, 2)

Add by components:

(5-2, 3+2) = (3, 5)

Can the sum of two vectors be equal to either of vectors Explain?

No, the sum of two vectors cannot be equal to either of the vectors. Adding two vectors results in a new vector, with a magnitude and direction that is determined by the individual vectors being added.


Can the sum of two vectors be equal to either of the vectors explain?

No, the sum of two vectors cannot be equal to either of the vectors individually. In vector addition, the resultant vector is determined by the magnitude and direction of the individual vectors. The sum of two vectors represents the combination of their effects, resulting in a new vector with different properties than the original vectors.

What is the relationship between pathogens and vectors?

Vectors are living organisms that can transmit pathogens from one host to another. For example, mosquitoes are vectors that can transmit diseases such as malaria and dengue fever by carrying and transmitting the pathogens that cause these diseases. Pathogens rely on vectors to help them spread and infect new hosts.


Can the resultant or two vectors of the same magnitude be equal to the magnitude of either of the vectors?

No, the resultant of two vectors of the same magnitude cannot be equal to the magnitude of either of the vectors. The magnitude of the resultant of two vectors is given by the formula: magnitude = √(A^2 + B^2 + 2ABcosθ), where A and B are the magnitudes of the vectors and θ is the angle between them.


Why are some vectors pseudo vectors and some real vectors?

Answer: There are no "pseudo vectors" there are pseudo "rules". For example the right hand rule for vector multiplication. If you slip in the left hand rule then the vector becomes a pseudo vector under the right hand rule. Answer: A pseudo vector is one that changes direction when it is reflected. This affects all vectors that represent rotations, as well as, in general, vectors that are the result of a cross product.

What are facts about subtraction?

1. Subtraction is easily identified as a line for example like this: - 2. It is basically the opposite of addition. 3. The answer will only be a positive number if the top is bigger than the bottom. 4. If you know how to subtract from 0-9 than you will know how to subtract higher numbers. 5. Subtraction is one of the first things you will learn. 6. If you can't do subtraction you will be confused with other maths. 7. Subtraction is one of the main 4 processes of calculation.

How you can add the vectors?

1) Graphically. Move one of the vectors (without rotating it) so that its tail coincides with the head of the other vector. 2) Analytically (mathematically), by adding components. For example, in two dimensions, separate each vector into an x-component and a y-component, and add the components of the different vectors.
