Problem 05:
- Given: and .
- Find the value of .
We can solve this by calculating the magnitudes of both vectors: Thus, .
This closest matches option C: 12, assuming some rounding.
Problem 06:
- Given: and .
- Also given: .
First, let's write : Now, the magnitude is given by: We know this equals , so: Square both sides: Thus, or .
The correct answer is A: -3.
