Let ε1 and ε2 be the angles made by and - with the positive X-axis. Show that Thus, giving tan ε does not uniquely determine the direction of

We can infer that vectors and - are in opposite direction and the angle between them is 180° . Then we express ε2 = 180° + ε1. we have . Hence does not uniquely determine the direction of as it gives directions for both and -.
