?Nonzero vectors u and v are called collinear if there exists a nonzero scalar

Chapter 2, Problem 207

(choose chapter or problem)

Nonzero vectors u and v are called collinear if there exists a nonzero scalar \(\alpha\) such that \(\mathbf{v}=\alpha \mathbf{u}\). Show that u and v are collinear if and only if \(\mathbf{u} \times \mathbf{v}=\mathbf{0}\).

Text Transcription:

alpha

v = alpha u

u times v = 0
