I'm sorry, that's all I have. Nothing more and nothing less. And I'm totally suck...which means I don't have any method to solving this...sorry

So your class hasn't actually covered this material (or you were out sick that week/month), and you're needing lesson links...?

Thank you!

Maybe this will help. I hope I'm right, i'm also in physics.

Your vector is
4,-1,3

or 4i - 1j + 3k (i,j and k are unit vectors, used to express parts of vectors)

so you need two things where the differance is 4i -1j and 3k

so your vectors could be <10i + 2j + 8k> and <6i + 3j + 5k> or any other two that combine to be <4i -1j +3k>.
