The root of the chord is always the easiest to find because its name is in the name of the chord!
The root of a C (Major) Add9 Chord chord is C
The third of a C (Major) Add9 Chord chord is E. The third is up four half-steps from the Root.
The fifth of a C (Major) Add9 Chord chord is G. The fifth is down five half-steps from the Root -- but it's easier to just think of it as a variation on the fifth. Once you know your fifths, the flat fifth and sharp fifth are a lot easier to find.
The ninth of a C (Major) Add9 Chord chord is D. The ninth is the same as a major second, only up an octave. You can either think of it as up two half-steps from the root, or in relationship to the third. If the chord has a major third, the 9th is down two half-steps. If the chord has a minor third, the 9th is the next piano note down from the minor third.
