Two vectors are given by \(\vec{a} = (4.0\text{ m})\hat{i} - (3.0\text{ m})\hat{j} + (1.0\text{ m})\hat{k}\) and \(\vec{b} = (-1.0\text{ m})\hat{i} + (1.0\text{ m})\hat{j} + (4.0\text{ m})\hat{k}\). In unit-vector notation, find (a) \(\vec{a} + \vec{b}\), (b) \(\vec{a} - \vec{b}\), and (c) a third vector \(\vec{c}\) such that \(\vec{a} - \vec{b} + \vec{c} = 0\).
