Given the vectors A= 2.00i + 6.00j and B= 3.00i - 2.00j, (a) draw the vector sum C= A + B and the vector difference D = A - B. (b) Calculate C and D in terms of unit vectors. (c) Calculate C and D in terms of polar coordinates, with angles measured in respect to the positive x-axis.
Given the vectors.
(a) draw the vector sum C= A + B and the vector difference D = A - B.
(b) Calcular C y D en términos de vectores unitarios
for vector addition it is necessary to add components
the procedure is similar, when subtracting the vectors, the operation is performed, for components.

c) Calculate C and D in terms of polar coordinates, with angles measured in respect to the positive x-axis.
for calculating polar coordinates:
Vector magnitude is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem.
the angle to the x axis is calculated using the trigonometric
identity tangent.
