Remember, these are vectors - direction matters. Look at the direction of your arrow of ABAB and a\mathbf{a}. Now look at how you're travelling from B to C and then from C to D. When you're going from C to D, your direction of travel is opposite that of a\mathbf{a}, so you're moving 3a-3\mathbf{a} units to go from C to D.
b) You've just got the wrong direction of the vector a
d) You've also used the wrong sign for DC

I remember helping you out with C1 geometric series a year ago, you've come a long way since then. :lol:
