Say you have two vectors, A and B, with unknown components. You add them together and find the resulting vector has magnitude 10 in arbitrary units. Which one of the following choices below could be correct for the components of A and B? Hint: Write the two vectors out in terms of their components, e.g., A = (Ax, Ay). Do the same thing for B. Obtain an expression for the sum and try the options below to see which one works. O (2, 4) and (7, 1) O (1, 5) and (7,3) O (-1, 5) and (7,3) O (4,-5) and (5,-2) Say you have two vectors, A and B, with unknown components.
