![### Vector Components Calculation
**Problem Statement:**
3. For vectors **E** and **F** with magnitudes and direction as shown at the right, the difference vector **F - E** has components equal to:
**x component:**
\[ \text{x component} = \] [input box]
**y component:**
\[ \text{y component} = \] [input box]
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram depicts two vectors, **E** and **F**:
- Vector **E** is represented as an upward arrow with a magnitude of 24 units.
- Vector **F** is represented as a leftward arrow with a magnitude of 18 units.
**Calculation:**
To find the components of the difference vector **F - E**:
1. **x-component:** Identify the horizontal component. Since **F** points left and **E** has no horizontal component:
\[ \text{x component} = -18 \]
2. **y-component:** Identify the vertical component. Since **E** points up and **F** has no vertical component:
\[ \text{y component} = -24 \]
Thus, the components of **F - E** are:
\[ \text{x component} = -18 \]
\[ \text{y component} = -24 \]
These components can be entered in the provided input boxes.
**Note:** The negative signs indicate the direction opposite to the positive direction of the axes.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa6e25511-95bc-41f4-b277-6fcae3d6d537%2F23ef3570-af7b-4733-9163-d432ead36bf6%2F9bvvvpl_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
