Let A be the position vector of A and B be the position vector of B. A position vector is a vector that points from the origin to a particular point.
If you plot A,B and AB , then you can easily notice that B=A+AB using the triangle rule of addition of vectors.
In this question, A=4i+2j6kandB=9ij+3k. So
9ij+3k=(4i+2j6k)+AB, , thus meaning that
AB=(94)i+(12)j+(3+6)k=5i3j+9k.
