2.3 Exercise 4

Avg difficulty 2.5

For vectors B→=−i^−4j^\overset{\rightarrow}{B} = − \hat{i} - 4 \hat{j} and A→=−3i^−2j^\overset{\rightarrow}{A} = −3 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j}, calculate (a) A→+B→\overset{\rightarrow}{A} + \overset{\rightarrow}{B} and its magnitude and direction angle, and (b) A→−B→\overset{\rightarrow}{A} - \overset{\rightarrow}{B} and its magnitude and direction angle.
