$c.$ Translate the vector ${\bf v}$ so it starts where $ {\bf u}$ terminates. Join the start of ${\bf u}$ with the end of ${\bf v}$. $b.$ Translate the vector ${\bf w}$ so it starts where $ {\bf u+v}$ terminates. Join the start of ${\bf u+v}$ with the end of ${\bf w}$. $c.$ Translate the vector ${\bf -v}$ so it starts where $ {\bf u}$ terminates. Join the start of ${\bf u}$ with the end of ${\bf -v}$. $d.$ Translate the vector ${\bf -w}$ so it starts where $ {\bf u}$ terminates. Join the start of ${\bf u}$ with the end of ${\bf -w}$.
