Study the vector diagram.

Three vectors are drawn tail to tip method in the x y plane. Vector labeled T starts at the origin and is drawn in the northeast direction. The second vector is labeled U and drawn in the south south east direction. The third is labeled V and drawn in the north northeast direction. X and Y components are drawn for each vector along the x and y axis.

Which formula can be used to find the x-component of the resultant vector?

Tx - Ux - Vx
Tx + Ux + Vx
Tx = Tcosθ
Tx = Tsinθ

Tx + Ux + Vx

Explanation: the resultant's x-component is the algebraic sum of the x-components of each vector. (Individual components may be negative depending on direction; Tcosθ or Tsinθ would give a single vector's component, not the resultant.)
