If #A= <-9, 2 ># and #B= <-3, 8>#, what is #||A+B|| -||A|| -||B||#? Trigonometry Trigonometric Identities and Equations Products, Sums, Linear Combinations, and Applications 1 Answer Somebody N. Dec 9, 2017 See below. Explanation: #A=((-9),(2))# #B=((-3),(8))# #A+B=((-9),(2)) +((-3),(8))=((-12),(10))# #||A+B||=sqrt((-12)^2+(10)^2)=sqrt(244)=2sqrt(61)# #||A||=sqrt((-9)^2+(2)^2)=sqrt(85)# #||B||=sqrt((-3)^2+(8)^2)=sqrt(73)# #:.# #2sqrt(61)-sqrt(85)-sqrt(73)=-2.143048852# Answer link Related questions How do you use linear combinations to solve trigonometric equations?
