This Vector Subtraction Calculator helps you subtract two 3D vectors by subtracting their corresponding components. Subtract the x-components, y-components, and z-components separately, then write the results together as a new vector. This follows the vector subtraction rule used in coordinate geometry and vector algebra. It is a simple way to check answers, understand the method clearly, and practise vector operations step by step.

Step-by-step method

  1. Identify the components of A and B.
  2. Write the component-wise subtraction rule.
  3. Substitute the components into the rule.
  4. Subtract corresponding components to get the result.

Formula:

\(\vec{A} - \vec{B} = \left\langle a_{1} - b_{1},\; a_{2} - b_{2},\; a_{3} - b_{3} \right\rangle\)
