Question

Find a vector parallel to $<a, b, c>$ but half as long and pointing in the opposite direction.

Step-by-Step Solution

Verified

Answer

The required vector is: $<- \frac{a}{2}, - \frac{b}{2}, - \frac{c}{2}>$

1Given information

Given a vector $<a, b, c>$

2Finding the vector

The vector is in opposite direction so negative sign has to be applied and half means multiplying the vector with scalar $<a, b, c>$ .

The required vector is:

$<- \frac{a}{2}, - \frac{b}{2}, - \frac{c}{2}> .$
