Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the given vector \( v \)

The vector \( v \) has components \( \langle 5, 8 \rangle \).

Step 2: Determine the scaling factor for vector \( w \)

Vector \( w \) is equivalent to \( 4v \), which means it is \( 4 \) times vector \( v \).

Step 3: Calculate the components of vector \( w \)

Multiply each component of vector \( v \) by \( 4 \): \[ w = 4v = 4 \cdot \langle 5, 8 \rangle = \langle 4 \cdot 5, 4 \cdot 8 \rangle = \langle 20, 32 \rangle \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\langle 20, 32 \rangle}\)
