Divide the vectors into horizontal and vertical components (or components in three dimensions). Add the components together for the different vectors. Convert the resultant vector back to polar coordinates, if need be. Note: Most scientific calculators have a special function to convert from polar coordinates (distance and angle) to rectangular coordinates (x and y coordinates), and back. If your calculator has such a function, using it will save you a lot of work.

analytical method.
When do you need to use component method for vector addition?
when the vectors are not all pointing in the same direction
Is it possible for vector A plus vector B to equal vector A - vector B?
It's impossible as the addition of two vectors is commutative i.e. A+B = B+A.For subtraction of two vectors, you have to subtract a vector B from vector A.The subtraction of the vector B from A is equivalent to the addition of (-B) with A, i.e. A-B = A+(-B).
How will you get the third vector if the 1st and 2nd vector was given and the resultant vector is equal to 0?
by method of finding resultant
