The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum value of \( k \) given the equation \( |2(\vec{a} \times \vec{b})| + |3(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b})| = k \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Magnitudes of the Vectors We are given that the magnitudes of the vectors are: - \( |\vec{a}| = 2 \) - \( |\vec{b}| = 3 \) ### Step 2: Express the Cross Product and Dot Product The magnitude of the cross product \( \vec{a} \times \vec{b} \) is given by: \[ |\vec{a} \times \vec{b}| = |\vec{a}| |\vec{b}| \sin \theta \] where \( \theta \) is the angle between the vectors \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \). The dot product \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} \) is given by: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = |\vec{a}| |\vec{b}| \cos \theta \] ### Step 3: Substitute the Magnitudes Substituting the magnitudes into the equations gives: \[ |\vec{a} \times \vec{b}| = 2 \cdot 3 \sin \theta = 6 \sin \theta \] \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 2 \cdot 3 \cos \theta = 6 \cos \theta \] ### Step 4: Substitute into the Expression for \( k \) Now we can substitute these into the expression for \( k \): \[ k = |2(\vec{a} \times \vec{b})| + |3(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b})| \] This becomes: \[ k = |2(6 \sin \theta)| + |3(6 \cos \theta)| \] \[ k = 12 |\sin \theta| + 18 |\cos \theta| \] ### Step 5: Find the Maximum Value of \( k \) To maximize \( k = 12 |\sin \theta| + 18 |\cos \theta| \), we can use the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality or the formula for the maximum value of \( A \sin \theta + B \cos \theta \): \[ \text{Maximum value} = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2} \] where \( A = 12 \) and \( B = 18 \). Calculating this gives: \[ \sqrt{12^2 + 18^2} = \sqrt{144 + 324} = \sqrt{468} = \sqrt{36 \cdot 13} = 6\sqrt{13} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the maximum value of \( k \) is: \[ k_{\text{max}} = 6\sqrt{13} \] ### Final Answer The maximum value of \( k \) is \( 6\sqrt{13} \), which corresponds to option (c). ---
