Magnitude of $$$\left\langle 8 t, - \frac{6}{t^{2}}, 0\right\rangle$$$

Find the magnitude (length) of $$$\mathbf{\vec{u}} = \left\langle 8 t, - \frac{6}{t^{2}}, 0\right\rangle$$$.

The vector magnitude of a vector is given by the formula $$$\mathbf{\left\lvert\vec{u}\right\rvert} = \sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n} \left|{u_{i}}\right|^{2}}$$$.

The sum of squares of the absolute values of the coordinates is $$$\left|{8 t}\right|^{2} + \left|{- \frac{6}{t^{2}}}\right|^{2} + \left|{0}\right|^{2} = 64 t^{2} + \frac{36}{t^{4}}$$$.

Therefore, the magnitude of the vector is $$$\mathbf{\left\lvert\vec{u}\right\rvert} = \sqrt{64 t^{2} + \frac{36}{t^{4}}} = \frac{2 \sqrt{16 t^{6} + 9}}{t^{2}}$$$.

The magnitude is $$$\frac{2 \sqrt{16 t^{6} + 9}}{t^{2}} = \frac{2 \left(16 t^{6} + 9\right)^{0.5}}{t^{2}}$$$A.
