Answer: The resultant would be the sum and the difference between the vectors.

Step by step explanation: 1. The possible resultant is between the sum of the 2 vectors and the difference between the two vectors.

2. The greatest magnitude is when the vectors lie in the same direction and the sum would be the scalar sum of the two vectors. The angle between the two would be zero degree.
