If you say, "Add the vectors, " I would just add the x to the x and the y to the y and I'm keeping track of what the sum is.

如果你们说 " 将矢量相加 ",我就把同为 x 轴方向的分量相加,同为 y 轴方向的分量相加,然后就能得出这两个矢量的和是多少了

If you want to add two vectors, you can add the arrows by the rule I gave you or just add the components of x of the two guys to get the component of the sum and likewise for the y.

如果要把两个矢量相加,你可以用我教给你们的箭头相接的方法,或者就将二者的 x 分量相加,得到和矢量的 x 分量,y 方向也是这样
