<15,9> <-15,-9> (Parallel just means going in same direction. Scaling a vector does not change its direction. To get a vector with 3x the magnitude of the given vector, just scale the vector by 3. Take care that you don't confuse this with finding a parallel vector with a magnitude of 3. That would require you to make a unit vector from v and then scale it by 3.)

Compare magnitudes (If we are asking how far these points are from the origin, then we can write them as position vectors with the same component values since we would be subtracting (0,0,0). Then, we simply calculate the magnitudes of our new vectors and compare. The greater the magnitude, the further from the origin.)

If two vectors are parallel, their dot product is = to...?

the product of the magnitudes of the vectors.

If two vectors are perpendicular, the magnitude of the cross product of the vectors is = to...?

< 20, -16, -8 > (When you find a cross product you are solving for the determinant of a 3x3 matrix. u x v and v x u are the exact same matrices except for one key difference: the 2nd and 3rd row are interchanged because of the order of u and v being swapped. If you'll remember, interchanging two rows has the effect of flipping the sign of the determinant. Therefore, if we know the determinant of one (u x v), we can find the determinant of the other (v x u) simply by swapping the signs of the components. Note that this also has the effect of turning the normal vector around, so u x v and v x u are going in opposite directions, but are still parallel.)

turns it around (reverses its direction)

2 (Create two vectors, ->AB and ->AC, (other combos are valid but for simplicity's sake we'll just make two co-initial vectors) then test them for parallelism using either ratio comparison, dot product, or cross product)

Given 3 points, A, B, and C, and asked to determine whether the points are collinear, it is fairly obvious that vectors will need to be created and checked for parallelism. The question is, how many vectors must be created?

A = xy B = xz C = yz P = (4,2,4) (A, B and C are all 2D planes that have one coordinate = to 0. To find the coordinates of P, start at the origin, and count how many units P is in the x direction. Then go back to the origin and count to y. repeat for z. )
