Given:
7i^ + 7k^ = A + B
A – B = -i^ + k^
We must remove B from these equations in order to determine the magnitude of A. By combining the two equations, we can accomplish this:
(7i^ + 7k^) + (-i^ + k^) = (A + B) + (A – B)
Separately simplifying the left and right sides:
2A = 6i^ + 8k^
Both sides are divided by two:
A = 3i^ + 4k^
The vector A is now available. We can utilize the following formula to determine its magnitude:
√(Ax² + Ay² + Az²) = |A|
Ax = 3, Ay = 0, and Az = 4 in this instance. Changing these numbers in the formula:
√(3² + 0² + 4²) = |A|
= √(9 + 0 + 16)
= -25
= 5.
Consequently, A’s magnitude is 5. Option C is therefore the right response.
