Question

Calculate the magnitude of vectors A and B: A = 3i + 4j - 2k and B = 2i - 6j + 3k.
Options
A √29 and 7
Correct Answer
B √29 and √49
C 5 and 7
D √29 and √41
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

|A| = √(3² + 4² + (-2)²) = √(9 + 16 + 4) = √29. |B| = √(2² + (-6)² + 3²) = √(4 + 36 + 9) = √49 = 7.

Hint

Magnitude = √(x² + y² + z²).
