Short Answer

Expert verified

The required vector is $<2 a, 2 b, 2 c>$ .

Step by step solution

Given information

Given a vector $<a, b, c>$

Finding the required vector

The required vector in the same direction but twice may be found by multiplying the given vector with a scalar 2.

So, the vector is:
