P.N-VM.B.5

Code Standard Coding: 
P.N-VM.B.5
Code Standard standard: 

Multiply a vector by a scalar.

a. Represent scalar multiplication graphically by scaling vectors and possibly reversing their direction; perform scalar multiplication component-wise, e.g., as   c(vx, vy) = (cvx, cvy).

b. Compute the magnitude of a scalar multiple cv using ||cv|| = |c|v. Compute the direction of cv knowing that when |c|v  ≠ 0, the direction of cv is either along v (for c > 0) or against v (for c < 0).
