The correct Answer is:
To find the sum of the vectors \(\vec{a} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j}\), \(\vec{b} = -2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j}\), and \(\vec{c} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{k}\), we will add the corresponding components of each vector. ### Step 1: Write down the vectors - \(\vec{a} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j}\) - \(\vec{b} = -2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j}\) - \(\vec{c} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{k}\) ### Step 2: Group the components We will group the \( \hat{i} \), \( \hat{j} \), and \( \hat{k} \) components separately. - For \( \hat{i} \) components: \[ \text{Sum of } \hat{i} = 1 + (-2) + 2 \] - For \( \hat{j} \) components: \[ \text{Sum of } \hat{j} = -2 + (-3) + 0 \] - For \( \hat{k} \) components: \[ \text{Sum of } \hat{k} = 0 + 0 + 3 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the sums - Calculate the \( \hat{i} \) sum: \[ 1 - 2 + 2 = 1 \] - Calculate the \( \hat{j} \) sum: \[ -2 - 3 = -5 \] - Calculate the \( \hat{k} \) sum: \[ 0 + 0 + 3 = 3 \] ### Step 4: Combine the results Now, we combine the sums of the components: \[ \vec{S} = 1\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \] ### Final Result Thus, the sum of the vectors is: \[ \vec{S} = \hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \] ---
