can someone help me do this one? Find a vector with same direction as (-2,4,2) but has length 6

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

find the length of that vector and then scale down linearly

OpenStudy (kl0723):

I got length \[2\sqrt{6}\]

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

well, dividing the vector you posted by that \(2 \sqrt6\) you calculated creates the unit vector, ie the vector of length = 1, in the direction of your opening vector so next, scale it back up to length 6 yep?

OpenStudy (kl0723):

yes, I did that thank you
