Transcribed Image Text:### Vector Decomposition Problem
**Problem Statement:**
Write **v** as the sum of two vector components if **v** = 2**i** + **j** and **w** = 3**i** - 2**j**.
**Answer Options:**
1. \( \mathbf{v} = \left( \frac{12}{13} \mathbf{i} + \frac{8}{13} \mathbf{j} \right) + \left( \frac{14}{13} \mathbf{i} + \frac{21}{13} \mathbf{j} \right) \)
2. \( \mathbf{v} = \left( \frac{12}{13} \mathbf{i} - \frac{8}{13} \mathbf{j} \right) + \left( \frac{14}{13} \mathbf{i} + \frac{21}{13} \mathbf{j} \right) \)
3. \( \mathbf{v} = \left( - \frac{1}{13} \mathbf{i} + \frac{8}{13} \mathbf{j} \right) + \left( \frac{14}{13} \mathbf{i} + \frac{8}{13} \mathbf{j} \right) \)
4. \( \mathbf{v} = \left( - \frac{1}{13} \mathbf{i} + \frac{8}{13} \mathbf{j} \right) + \left( \frac{2}{13} \mathbf{i} + \frac{8}{13} \mathbf{j} \right) \)
**Explanation:**
To solve this problem, we need to express vector **v** in terms of two components. Given vectors **v** and **w**, we may need to use vector algebra to decompose **v** into two components that potentially involve the direction given by **w** and another orthogonal direction.
The options provided represent possible ways to express **v** as the sum of two vector components. Each equation shows **v** being broken down into two parts, which when added together should yield the original vector **v**.
Further analysis and computations can be carried out step by step to identify the correct representation of **v**.
