Correct answer:

$\left \| -3\:v\right \|=6$ , Direction is away from .

Explanation:

In order to solve the first part of the problem, we need to remember how to take the magnitude of a vector and scalar.

Now lets calculate this.

$=3\cdot\sqrt{0^2+2^2}=3\cdot\sqrt{0+4}=3\sqrt{4}=3\cdot2=6$

As for the direction of the vector, since c<0 , the resulting vector will be against the original vector .
