Simplify the equation: ||v||=169.

Steps

Step 1 :We are given the vector v=(4,3,12). The length (or magnitude) of a vector v=(a,b,c) in three-dimensional space is given by the formula ||v||=a2+b2+c2.

Step 2 :Substitute the values into the formula: ||v||=42+32+122.

Step 3 :Solve the equation: ||v||=16+9+144.

Step 4 :Simplify the equation: ||v||=169.
