Problem solving
Directions: Solve the following problems below. 5 points each. Attached your solution. Always box your
final answer.

1. Given the vectors below,

A= (2i, -j, 3k) m
B= (-i, 2j, k) m
Calculate the magnitude of:

A = 3.74m
B = 2.45m
A+B = 4.24m

SOLUTIONS

A. A= (A×) ² + (Ay)² + (Az)²

= √ (2m) ² + (-1m) ² + (3m) ²
= √ 4m² + 1m² + 9m²
= √ 14m²
A= 3.74m

B. B= √(-1m) ² + (2m) ² + (1m) ²

=√ 1m² + 4m² + 1m²
=√6m²
B=2.45m

C. A+B = (2i, -j, 3k) m

+ (-I, 2j, k) m
(1i, 1j, 4k) m
=√(1m) ² + (1m) ² + (4m) ²
=√ 1m² + 1m² + 16m²
= √18m²
=4.24m
A+B= 4.24m
2. Vector A is measured as (-3i, j, -2k) m and vector B is measured as (-4j, 2k) m.
Calculate:
A. 2A-B = 10.39m
B. -3B+2A = 18.22m

SOLUTIONS

A. 2A-B
A= (-3i, j, -2k) m B. (-4j, 2k) m

2A-B = (-6i, 2j, -4k) m

- (-4j, 2k)m
(-6i, 6j, -6k) m

= √(-6m) ² + (6m) ² + (-6m) ²

= √(36m²) + (36m) ² + (36m) ²
= √180m²
2A-B= 10.39m

B. -3B+2A

A= (-3i, j, -2k) m B. (-4j, 2k) m

-3B+2A= (12j, 6k) m

+ (-6i, 2j, -4k) m
(-6i, 14j, -10k) m

= √(-6m) ² + (14m) ² + (-10m) ²

=√36m² + 196m² + 100m²
=√332m²
-3B+2A=18.22m
