Answer

If there are two vectors u and v in four components such that u=x1, y1, z1, w1 and v=x2, y2, z2, w2v=m, n, o, p, then the two vectors will be added component-wise.

1Step 1: Given information

Let two vectors u and v in four components such that u=x1, y1, z1, w1  and v=x2, y2, z2, w2

2Step 2: Adding the vectors with four and 'n' components.

To add the two vectors with four components, add the component as follows.


u+v=x1+x2, y1+y2, z1+z2, w1+w2u+v=x1+x2+....+xn, y1+y2+...+yn, z1+z2+....+zn, w1+w2+....+wn
