What happens to the direction and magnitude of a vector when it is multiplied by a positive and a negative scalar $\lambda$?
- APositive $\lambda$: Same direction,magnitude scaled by $\lambda$; Negative $\lambda$: Opposite direction,magnitude scaled by $|\lambda|$.
- BPositive $\lambda$: Opposite direction,magnitude scaled by $\lambda$; Negative $\lambda$: Same direction,magnitude scaled by $|\lambda|$.
- CPositive $\lambda$: Same direction,magnitude remains same; Negative $\lambda$: Opposite direction,magnitude remains same.
- DPositive $\lambda$: Opposite direction,magnitude scaled by $\lambda$; Negative $\lambda$: Opposite direction,magnitude scaled by $|\lambda|$.
