+### Adding/subtracting vectors algebraically
+
+Vectors can be broken up into two vectors (**"components"**) laying on the x- and y-axes via trigonometry such that the resultant of the two components is the original vector. This is especially helpful when adding larger (3+) numbers of vectors.
+$$\vec{F}_x + \vec{F}_y = \vec{F}$$

+!!! info "Reminder"
+    The **component form** of a vector is expressed as $(|\vec{a}_x|, |\vec{a}_y|)$

 ### Parallelogram rule
 
-The parallelogram rule states that the sum of two vectors that form two sides of a parallelogram is the diagonal of that parallelogram.

-For vector $\vec{a}$ and vector $\vec{b}$:
-
-$$
-\vec{a}_{x} = a\cos\theta_{a} \\
-\vec{a}_{y} = a\sin\theta_{a}
-$$
-
-Proof:  
-$|\vec{a}| = \sqrt{a^{2}_{x}+a^{2}_{y}} \\$
-$= \sqrt{(|\vec{a}|\cos\theta_{a})^2 + (|\vec{a}|\sin\theta{a})^2} \\$
-$=\sqrt{|\vec{a}|^2(\cos\theta_{a}^2 + \sin\theta_{a}^2)} \\$
-$=\sqrt{|\vec{a}|^2} \\$
-$=|\vec{a}|$

-From the diagram above, we can figure out that:
-
-$$
-|\vec{r}|=\sqrt{(|\vec{a}|\cos\theta_{a} + |\vec{b}|\cos\theta_{b})^2 + (|\vec{a}|\sin\theta_{a} + |\vec{b}|\cos\theta_{b})^2} \\
-\theta_{r}=\tan^{-1}(\frac{|\vec{a}|\sin\theta_{a} + |\vec{b}|\sin\theta_{b}}{|\vec{a}|\cos\theta_{a} + |\vec{b}|\cos\theta_{b}})
