ACTIVITY 1.5
COMMUTATIVITY OF THE ADDITION OF THREE OR MORE VECTORS

In previous activity we saw that we can write++ instead of  (+) + or of + (+).

Combining the associative property with the commutative property, we can write

++ =++ =++ =++ =++= ... etc.

In other words, we can add three vectors placing them in the order that we want; we will always obtain the same result.

Also we can apply the commutativity to the addition of more than three vectors:

++++ =++++ =++++ = ... etc.

INTERACTIVE ACTIVITY

You have a construction that represents the addition of three vectors =++.

You can translate the three vectors,and moving the corresponding green point. Try to do it.

1) Make one construction that represents the sum =++. That is to say, change the order of the adding vectors and check that obtains the same vector .

2) Repeats the construction representing the now the addition =++.

3) Finally, represents like the addition of the three vectors, and in a different order of the two previous.
