Find the specified vector or scalar. Show your work.
u = -4i + 1j and v = 4i + 1j; Find ‖𝑢 + 𝑣‖.

I am not sure I understand your symbol. (absolute value?)
anyway
u + v = 2 j

the magnitude of 2 j is 2

Can you show your work please ? and that's what the question says exactly
Answered by Damon
to add two vectors you can add the components in orthogonal (perpendicular) directions and the sum will have components in those directions

if u = a i + b j
and v = c i + d j
then
u + v = (a+c) i + (b+d) j
now here
u+v = (-4+4) i + (1+1) j
or
0 i + 2 j
which is magnitude 2 in the j (or y) direction because j is a unit vector in the y direction.
