Short Trig Question about magnitude!!! Please help! :) 10 pts BA

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-12-20] [Hit: ]
............
Find the magnitude of v if
V = 3i -6j -2k

I get 7 but my book says 2 sq. roots of 11
Please show a few steps as to how to get the answer! Thank you!!!!

-
√(3^2 + 6^2 + 2^2) = √(9+36+4) = √49 = 7

Your book is apparently working the problem for 2i-6j-2k. It happens. Some underpaid grad student didn't have quite enough coffee to keep his eyes open.

-
..........._____________
||v|| =√3² + (-6)² +(-2)²
..........._______
.......=√9+36+4 =√49 = 7

If V is actually 2i -6j -2k

then result would be √44 =2√11

did you read or copy it wrong, or
did your book actually make an error?
