What are the components of u-w?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on vector operations involving the vectors u = [1, 2, 3]T, v = [2, -3, 1]T, and w = [3, 2, -1]T. The specific calculations requested include u - w, 7v + 3, -w + v, 3(u - 7v), -3v - 8w, and 2v - (u + w). The first operation, u - w, results in the vector [-2, 0, 4]. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding vector addition and subtraction.

Do you know how vectors are added?
If no, look in the script or a book.
If yes, where do you get problems?
 
can you give me the answer of part a? Because I forget how to do it
