I have completely forgotten the word for it where you have two vectors.
e.g. a= 2i+3j and b= 4i+6j.
And you can factor out a number from one (or both) and you get the same "core vector" and it shows that they have the same direction. But I forgot what the word for it is as I know it isn't core vector,

is it paralell?

unborn chasm Jun 10, 2025, 8:05 PM

#

yeah

vast moon Jun 10, 2025, 8:05 PM

#

parallel

unborn chasm Jun 10, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

I mean like the word for actual vector bit. Like you'd say at the end: "Because the two vectors have the same (word I'm forgetting), they are therefore parallel".

#

they a multiple of each other?

#

idk

unborn chasm Jun 10, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

its actually making me go insane

#

direction vector?

#

yh

#

i asked chapt gpt 😭

#

#

😭

unborn chasm Jun 10, 2025, 8:08 PM

#

but it isn't a unit vector as it isn't a unit

#

i know it has a word

#

I just want to be able to say it in an exam

vast moon Jun 10, 2025, 8:09 PM

#

trty asking other ppl/

#

unborn chasm Jun 10, 2025, 8:10 PM

#

i've got it!

vast moon Jun 10, 2025, 8:10 PM

#

what is it

unborn chasm Jun 10, 2025, 8:11 PM

#

I dont know the exact word but you say that one is a scaler multiple of the other

#

I think that will be find

#

fine

#

thank you for the help
