![**Adding Vectors**
When adding two vectors, you simply add their corresponding components.
Given:
- Vector **v** = (-2, 5)
- Vector **u** = (6, 8)
The vector addition **v + u** can be calculated by adding the x-components and y-components separately:
- \( x \)-component: -2 + 6
- \( y \)-component: 5 + 8
So, \( \text{v + u} = (-2 + 6, 5 + 8) = (4, 13) \).
### Question:
Given vector **v** = (-2, 5) and vector **u** = (6, 8), what are the endpoints of vector **v + u**?
### Multiple Choice Options:
1. \( \text{v + u} = (8, 13) \)
2. \( \text{v + u} = (13, 4) \)
3. \( \text{v + u} = (4, 13) \) ← Correct Answer
4. \( \text{v + u} = (4, 3) \)
The correct answer is **option 3**: (4, 13).
This demonstrates the method of vector addition by component-wise addition.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fcc7859e1-a84c-4143-bc4d-4794151a052e%2F4a770847-d5b2-4a37-97d2-232cfe8009fb%2F6yjcux_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
