The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will find the magnitudes of the vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), \(\vec{a} + \vec{b}\), and \(\vec{a} - \vec{b}\). ### Step 1: Find the magnitude of \(\vec{a}\) Given: \[ \vec{a} = 4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} \] The magnitude of a vector \(\vec{v} = x\hat{i} + y\hat{j}\) is given by: \[ |\vec{v}| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \] For \(\vec{a}\): \[ |\vec{a}| = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \] ### Step 2: Find the magnitude of \(\vec{b}\) Given: \[ \vec{b} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} \] Using the same formula for magnitude: \[ |\vec{b}| = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \] ### Step 3: Find the magnitude of \(\vec{a} + \vec{b}\) First, we need to add the vectors: \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} = (4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) + (3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j}) = (4 + 3)\hat{i} + (3 + 4)\hat{j} = 7\hat{i} + 7\hat{j} \] Now, find the magnitude: \[ |\vec{a} + \vec{b}| = \sqrt{7^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{49 + 49} = \sqrt{98} = 7\sqrt{2} \] ### Step 4: Find the magnitude of \(\vec{a} - \vec{b}\) Now, we subtract the vectors: \[ \vec{a} - \vec{b} = (4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) - (3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j}) = (4 - 3)\hat{i} + (3 - 4)\hat{j} = 1\hat{i} - 1\hat{j} \] Now, find the magnitude: \[ |\vec{a} - \vec{b}| = \sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 1} = \sqrt{2} \] ### Final Results - Magnitude of \(\vec{a}\): \(5\) - Magnitude of \(\vec{b}\): \(5\) - Magnitude of \(\vec{a} + \vec{b}\): \(7\sqrt{2}\) - Magnitude of \(\vec{a} - \vec{b}\): \(\sqrt{2}\)

To solve the problem step by step, we will find the magnitudes of the vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), \(\vec{a} + \vec{b}\), and \(\vec{a} - \vec{b}\). ### Step 1: Find the magnitude of \(\vec{a}\) Given: \[ \vec{a} = 4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} \] ...
