Which of the following vectors in the regular hexagon below has the same magnitude as A B \vec{AB} but opposite direction?

Details and assumptions:

  • O is the intersection point of the three diagonal lines.

If a = b , \vec{a}=\vec{b}, which of the following is/are true?

I. a \vec{a} and b \vec{b} are parallel.
II. a \vec{a} and b \vec{b} are equal in magnitude.
III. The initial points of a \vec{a} and b \vec{b} are the same.
IV. The terminal points of a \vec{a} and b \vec{b} are the same.

Let O A = a + 2 b , O B = 3 a b , \vec{OA}=\vec{a}+2\vec{b}, \vec{OB}=3\vec{a}-\vec{b}, and O C = 2 a + k b \vec{OC}=2\vec{a}+k\vec{b} in the diagram below. If the three points A , B , A, B, and C C lie on the line l l , which of the following is equal to k k ?

Details and assumptions:

  • Point O O does not \color{#D61F06}{\text{not}} lie on the line l . l.
