The answer is =-0.01=0.01

Explanation:

The vectors are

vecA= <-3,6>A=<3,6>

vecB = <-2,5>B=<2,5>

The modulus of vecAA is =||vecA||=||<-3,6>||=sqrt((-3)^2+(6)^2)=sqrt(9+36)=sqrt45=A=||<3,6>||=(3)2+(6)2=9+36=45

The modulus of vecBB is =||vecB||=||<-2,5>||=sqrt((-2)^2+(5)^2)=sqrt(4+25)=sqrt29=B=||<2,5>||=(2)2+(5)2=4+25=29

The modulus of (vecA+vecB)(A+B) is

||vecA+vecB||= ||<-3,6,> +<-2,5>|| =||< -5,11>||A+B=||<3,6,>+<2,5>||=||<5,11>||

=sqrt((-5)^2+11^2)=(5)2+112

=sqrt(25+121)=25+121

=sqrt146=146

Therefore,

||vecA+vecB||-||vecA|| -||vecB||=sqrt(146)-sqrt(45)-sqrt(29)= -0.01A+BAB=1464529=0.01
