(a) Sketch a graphical representation of this expression using vectors.
(b) Describe in words what the scalars 4 and 2 represent in the sketch.

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.

Is it still possible to reach Old Man Gauss if you are given each of the following modes of transportation in stead of the hover board and magic carpet? Write a convincing argument that justify your conclusion. Use sentences, calculations, pictures, and anything that helps support your justification.
-
only the hover board with velocity 31 miles/hour.
-
only the magic carpet with velocity 12 miles/hour.
