The product of a scalar m by a vector = (u 1, u2) also is very easy to do when we work with components: each component multiplies of by m
So, in the figure, you have made the two products:
2 = 2 (-3, 1) = (2 (-3,) 2 · 1) = (-6, 2)
![](gif/menunmed.gif) = (4, 2) = ( 4, 2) = (-2, -1)
And the linear combination of the vectors = (u 1,u 2) and = (v 1,v 2) built with the scalars m and n is the vector respectively
= m + n = m(u1,u2)+n(v1,v2) = ( mu1,mu2)+(nv1,nv2) = (mu1+nv1,mu2+nv2)
In the bottom part of figure you have the linear combination
= 2![](gif/vec_a.gif) ![](gif/masunmed.gif) = (-6,2) + (2, ) = (-4, 3)
