The correct Answer is:
To find the length of the longer diagonal of the parallelogram constructed on the vectors \(5\mathbf{a} + 2\mathbf{b}\) and \(\mathbf{a} - 3\mathbf{b}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the diagonals of the parallelogram The diagonals \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) of the parallelogram can be expressed as: \[ d_1 = (5\mathbf{a} + 2\mathbf{b}) + (\mathbf{a} - 3\mathbf{b}) = 6\mathbf{a} - \mathbf{b} \] \[ d_2 = (5\mathbf{a} + 2\mathbf{b}) - (\mathbf{a} - 3\mathbf{b}) = 4\mathbf{a} + 5\mathbf{b} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the magnitudes of the diagonals To find the lengths of the diagonals, we need to calculate \(|d_1|\) and \(|d_2|\). #### For \(d_1\): \[ |d_1| = |6\mathbf{a} - \mathbf{b}| \] Using the formula for the magnitude of a vector: \[ |d_1| = \sqrt{(6\mathbf{a})^2 + (-\mathbf{b})^2 + 2(6\mathbf{a})(-\mathbf{b})\cos(\theta)} \] where \(\theta\) is the angle between \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\). Given: - \(|\mathbf{a}| = 2\sqrt{2}\) - \(|\mathbf{b}| = 3\) - \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}\) Substituting these values: \[ |d_1| = \sqrt{(6 \cdot 2\sqrt{2})^2 + (-3)^2 + 2(6 \cdot 2\sqrt{2})(-3)\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)} \] Calculating each term: - \((6 \cdot 2\sqrt{2})^2 = 72\) - \((-3)^2 = 9\) - \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) Putting it all together: \[ |d_1| = \sqrt{72 + 9 - 36\sqrt{2}} \] \[ |d_1| = \sqrt{81 - 36\sqrt{2}} \] #### For \(d_2\): \[ |d_2| = |4\mathbf{a} + 5\mathbf{b}| \] Using the same formula: \[ |d_2| = \sqrt{(4\mathbf{a})^2 + (5\mathbf{b})^2 + 2(4\mathbf{a})(5\mathbf{b})\cos(\theta)} \] Substituting the values: \[ |d_2| = \sqrt{(4 \cdot 2\sqrt{2})^2 + (5 \cdot 3)^2 + 2(4 \cdot 2\sqrt{2})(5)(3)\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)} \] Calculating each term: - \((4 \cdot 2\sqrt{2})^2 = 64\) - \((5 \cdot 3)^2 = 225\) Putting it all together: \[ |d_2| = \sqrt{64 + 225 + 60\sqrt{2}} \] \[ |d_2| = \sqrt{289 + 60\sqrt{2}} \] ### Step 3: Compare the lengths of the diagonals Now we need to determine which diagonal is longer. We will compare \(|d_1|\) and \(|d_2|\). From our calculations: - \(|d_1| = \sqrt{81 - 36\sqrt{2}}\) - \(|d_2| = \sqrt{289 + 60\sqrt{2}}\) Since \(289 + 60\sqrt{2}\) is greater than \(81 - 36\sqrt{2}\), we conclude that: \[ |d_2| > |d_1| \] ### Final Result The length of the longer diagonal of the parallelogram is: \[ |d_2| = \sqrt{289 + 60\sqrt{2}} \]

To find the length of the longer diagonal of the parallelogram constructed on the vectors \(5\mathbf{a} + 2\mathbf{b}\) and \(\mathbf{a} - 3\mathbf{b}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the diagonals of the parallelogram The diagonals \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) of the parallelogram can be expressed as: \[ d_1 = (5\mathbf{a} + 2\mathbf{b}) + (\mathbf{a} - 3\mathbf{b}) = 6\mathbf{a} - \mathbf{b} \] \[ ...
