Final answer:

To find the magnitude of vector Ċ, we substitute vectors Ả and B into the given equation, solve for Ċ's components, and then use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the magnitude. The operation involves scalar multiplication and vector addition. The magnitude of a three-dimensional vector is the square root of the sum of its squared components.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the magnitude of vector Ċ that satisfies the equation 2Ã – 6B + 3 = 2ĵ, we first need to express vectors and B in their component form. Given that = î – 2k and B = –ĵ + k/2, we substitute these into the equation, multiplying them by their respective scalars. After simplifying, we solve for the components of vector and then calculate its magnitude using the Pythagorean theorem on its components.

It's important to note that multiplying a vector by a scalar will affect its magnitude but not its direction, and vector addition follows specific algebraic rules that take into account the individual components of the vectors involved.

For a vector in three dimensions, expressed as = AxÎ + AyĴ + A₂Î, the magnitude can be found using the square root of the sum of squares of its components: || = √(Ax² + Ay² + A₂²).
