Exercise 49 Page 689

Recall the types of vectors.

Sometimes

Practice makes perfect

Let's begin with recalling the types of vectors.

Type Direction Magnitude
Parallel Vectors same or opposite not necessarily
Opposite Vectors opposite same
Equivalent Vectors same same

We are asked to determine if parallel vectors are sometimes, always, or never opposite vectors. From the table, we can see that parallel vectors can have opposite direction and the same magnitude but not necessarily. Therefore, parallel vectors are sometimes opposite vectors.
