Define vectors v and w: Step 1: Define the vectorsv and w for calculation.Assume v=(3,4) and w=(1,2) for this example.
Add vectors v and w: Step 2: Add the vectors v and w.v+w=(3+1,4+2)=(4,6).
Calculate magnitude of v+w: Step 3: Calculate the magnitude of v+w.∥v+w∥=(4)2+(6)2=16+36=52≈7.2.
Calculate direction angle theta: Step 4: Calculate the direction angle θ of v+w.θ=tan−1(46)=tan−1(1.5)≈56.3 degrees.
