Question

regular vectors
sometimes, instead of using components and/or unit - vectors, you may need to express a vector in terms of other vector or vectors. as a simple example, in the figure provided, \\(\vec{d}=\vec{a}\\). if the reason for this is not immediately clear, dont worry, you will learn more about vectors in class. here we just want to be sure you know how to enter them in masteringphysics.
when a problem in masteringphysics requires a vector answer in terms of other vectors, the answer instructions will usually read something like \enter your answer in terms of the vectors \\(\vec{a}\\) and \\(\vec{b}).\

part c
enter the expression \\(- 2\vec{c}+6\vec{d}\\) in the answer box using the notation just described.
express your answer in terms of \\(\vec{c}\\) and \\(\vec{d}\\). use the \\(\vec{x}\\) button under the \\(\square\\) menu in the answer box to create vectors.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coefficients and vectors

Expression: -3\(\vec{C}\) + 6\(\vec{D}\), with \(\vec{C}\) coefficient -3, \(\vec{D}\) coefficient 6.

Step2: Express in required terms

Directly use given vectors and coefficients.

Answer:

-3\(\vec{C}\) + 6\(\vec{D}\)
