Thanks everyone!

Hey Doc Al did you get this problem figured out. As far as i can tell we're all using the same approach...but in the end no success. Any more ideas or approaches to this problem?

Two point charges are placed on the x axis. The first charge, q1 = 8.00nC , is placed a distance 16.0 m from the origin along the positive x axis; the second charge, q2 = 6.0nC , is placed a distance 9.00m from the origin along the negative x axis. Find the electric field at the origin...

How does different quadrants affect the answer. So if its in the 4th quadrant what would you change from your steps to solve this problem. I am trying to figure out how to do (c) but i can't seem to find a way... please clarify for me the diffrence between quadrants! thanks in advance.
