A bird starts from the ground, flies at a certain speed for 5 seconds, and lands on a tree branch. The vector representing its

position is (4, 10). It continues to fly in the same direction and at the same speed for 5 more seconds, and lands on another

branch. What vector represents its new position from the ground?

(8, 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

The bird traveled (4, 10) in addition to the (4, 10) it had already traveled, so its final position vector is ...

(4, 10) + (4, 10) = (8, 20)
