Why does the notation |a| < 0 have no meaning for a vector a?
AMagnitude is itself a vector
BVectors have no magnitude
CLength is never negative
DMagnitude can only be complex
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Length is never negative
The magnitude is a length, and a length can never be below zero, so a negative value cannot occur.
