Question 35

EasyOriginal question

a⃗=i^−2j^+4k^\vec{a} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}, b⃗=3i^+j^−k^\vec{b} = 3\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k} and c⃗=−2i^−2j^+3k^\vec{c} = -2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}. What is ∣a⃗+b⃗+c⃗∣\lvert \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} \rvert?

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. a⃗+b⃗+c⃗=(1+3−2)i^+(−2+1−2)j^+(4−1+3)k^=2i^−3j^+6k^\vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} = (1 + 3 - 2)\hat{i} + (-2 + 1 - 2)\hat{j} + (4 - 1 + 3)\hat{k} = 2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}.

  2. ∣a⃗+b⃗+c⃗∣=4+9+36=7\lvert \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} \rvert = \sqrt{4 + 9 + 36} = 7.

Worth noting

11 adds the sizes of the components of the sum, 2+3+62 + 3 + 6, instead of their squares under a root.
