Solution

The head-to-tail rule is primarily used for adding and subtracting vectors, so the correct answer is d) both add and subtract the vector.

Here's how it works:

  1. Adding Vectors: To add vectors, you place them head to tail. The vector from the start of the first vector to the end of the last vector is the sum of the vectors.

  2. Subtracting Vectors: To subtract vectors, you add the opposite (negative) of the vector you want to subtract. This means you flip the vector you want to subtract and then add it using the head-to-tail method.

Multiplication of vectors involves different rules and is not typically done using the head-to-tail method.
