.
(a) Sketch a graphical representation of this expression using vectors.
(b) Describe in words what the scalars 4 and −2 represent in the sketch.
2. Vectors ~v1, ~v2, and ~w are given in the picture below. Use graphical method only (drawing pictures), without
any numerical calculation, to determine whether ~w a linear combination of ~v1 and ~v2. If not, why not? If
yes, estimate the value of the scalars in front of ~v1 and ~v2 respectively.
