Can the magnitude of a vector have a negative value?
The magnitude of a vector is always treated as non negative and the minus sign indicates the reversal of that vector through an angle of 180 degree.
What passes through a vertex and bisects the side opposite?
vector
What is an eigenvalue?
If a linear transformation acts on a vector and the result is only a change in the vector's magnitude, not direction, that vector is called an eigenvector of that particular linear transformation, and the magnitude that the vector is changed by is called an eigenvalue of that eigenvector.Formulaically, this statement is expressed as Av=kv, where A is the linear transformation, vis the eigenvector, and k is the eigenvalue. Keep in mind that A is usually a matrix and k is a scalar multiple that must exist in the field of which is over the vector space in question.
Can a vector be represented in terms of unit vector?
Yes, a vector can be represented in terms of a unit vector which is in the same direction as the vector. it will be the unit vector in the direction of the vector times the magnitude of the vector.
Is it possible to add three vector of equal magnitude but different directions to get a null vector?
Consider an equilateral triangle. If each vector started at the center of the triangle and went through a different vertex than the other two vectors then they would cancel. I believe in order for them to add to a null vector they must be co-planer.
