Vector

When adding two vectors graphically, a+b=c. Does b+a produce the same resultant vector c?

• Yes, two vectors added together always produce the same resultant vector

• No, because order matters

• Yes, but c will be pointing in the opposite direction

• No, because you can't add two vectors

When subtracting two vectors, a-b=c. Does b-a produce the same resultant vector c?

• Yes, two vectors subtracted together always produce the same resultant vector

• No, because order matters

• Yes, but c will be pointing in the opposite direction
