Answer

Finally, computing the square root, we get \( ||v|| = \sqrt{169} \).

Steps

Step 1 :The norm of a vector \( v \) in real vector space is given by the square root of the sum of the squares of its components. In mathematical terms, if \( v = [v_1, v_2, ..., v_n] \), then \( ||v|| = \sqrt{v_1^2+ v_2^2 + ... + v_n^2} \).

Step 2 :Substituting the given values into the formula, we get \( ||v|| = \sqrt{3^2+ (-4)^2 + 12^2} \).

Step 3 :Calculating the squares and the sum, we get \( ||v|| = \sqrt{9+ 16 + 144} \).

Step 4 :Finally, computing the square root, we get \( ||v|| = \sqrt{169} \).
