Answer

$d_{2}$ = 2i + 4j

Work Step by Step

We are given $d_{1}$ + $d_{2}$ = 5$d_{3}$ $d_{3}$ = 2i + 4j We can use $d_{1}$ from part a to solve for $d_{2}$, where $d_{1}$ = 8i + 16j. Plug unit vector notation of $d_{1}$ and $d_{3}$ into the first given equation $d_{1}$ + $d_{2}$ = 5$d_{3}$ 8i + 16j + $d_{2}$ = 10i + 20j $d_{2}$ = 2i + 4j
