You remember that the subtraction-between two vectorsandit is defined as the sum of the first of them with the opposite of the second: -=+ (-). It is easy to see that the components of -they are obtained changing the sign of components of , that is to say, if= (v 1, v 2), then -= (-v 1 ,-v 2). Then, it is arrived to the conclusion that to subtract two vectors is enough with subtracting his components:
-=+ (-) = (u 1, u 2) + (-v 1, -v 2) = (u 1- v 1, u 2- v 2)
Summarizing, the additions/subtractions of two vectors= (u 1,u 2) and= (v 1,v 2), when you work with components, they obtain so:
+= (u 1 + v 1, u2 + v 2)
-+= (-u 1 + v 1, -u 2 + v 2)
-- = (-u 1 - v 1, -u 2 - v 2)
- = (u1 - v 1, u 2 - v 2)
