Recall

Two-dimensional vector arithmetic and magnitude — objective 1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

Vectors \(\displaystyle u=\)\(\left[\begin{matrix}3\\4\end{matrix}\right]\), \(\displaystyle v=\)\(\left[\begin{matrix}7\\2\end{matrix}\right]\) and \(\displaystyle w=2u-4v\).

Find the horizontal component of w.

Enter one exact number or fraction unless the question specifies rounding. If it asks for a coefficient of π, enter that coefficient only. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.
