(N/A) Subtraction of vectors can be defined in terms of the addition of vectors.
We define the difference of two vectors $\overrightarrow{A}$ and $\overrightarrow{B}$ as the sum of two vectors $\overrightarrow{A}$ and $-\overrightarrow{B}$.
$\overrightarrow{A} - \overrightarrow{B} = \overrightarrow{A} + (-\overrightarrow{B})$
Thus,the subtraction of vectors means adding the opposite of a vector to another vector.
In figure $(a)$,$\vec{A}$,$\vec{B}$,and $-\vec{B}$ are represented.
In figure $(b)$,$-\vec{B}$ is added to $\vec{A}$.
By the triangle method for vector addition,
$\overrightarrow{R_{2}} = \overrightarrow{A} + (-\overrightarrow{B})$
$\therefore \overrightarrow{R_{2}} = \overrightarrow{A} - \overrightarrow{B}$
(For comparison,$\overrightarrow{R_{1}} = \overrightarrow{A} + \overrightarrow{B}$ is shown).

With respect to a rectangular cartesian coordinate system,three vectors are expressed as $\vec a = 4\hat i - \hat j$,$\vec b = -3\hat i + 2\hat j$,and $\vec c = -\hat k$,where $\hat i, \hat j, \hat k$ are unit vectors along the $X, Y,$ and $Z$-axis respectively. The unit vector $\hat r$ along the direction of the sum of these vectors is:
