Answer:

The maximum magnitude of their resultant is 14 units, and the minimum is 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Resultant Vectors

When two or more vectors are added or subtracted, the resultant vector can be found by considering their magnitudes and directions.

Two vectors applied to the same point can produce a result that can vary from being completely collaborative or completely opposite.

If two vectors act in a collaborative form, their magnitudes are added and the result has the maximum possible magnitude. If they act in opposite directions, the result has the minimum possible magnitude.

Thus, being 6 and 8 units the magnitudes of the vectors, the maximum magnitude of their resultant is 14 units, and the minimum is 2 units.
