Use the given vectors to sketch the following: (the left vector is vector \( A \) and the right is vector \( B \))
Vector addition: \(\vec{a} + \vec{b}\)
To find \(\vec{a} + \vec{b}\), place the tail of \(\vec{b}\) at the head of \(\vec{a}\). The resultant vector is drawn from the tail of \(\vec{a}\) to the head of \(\vec{b}\).
Vector subtraction: \(\vec{a} - \vec{b}\)
To find \(\vec{a} - \vec{b}\), reverse the direction of \(\vec{b}\) to get \(-\vec{b}\), then add it to \(\vec{a}\) using the same method as vector addition.
Scalar multiplication and vector subtraction: \(3\vec{a} - 2\vec{b}\)
First, scale \(\vec{a}\) by 3 to get \(3\vec{a}\) and scale \(\vec{b}\) by 2 to get \(2\vec{b}\). Then, reverse the direction of \(2\vec{b}\) to get \(-2\vec{b}\) and add it to \(3\vec{a}\).
