ANSWER
||w|| - 17 = 3
The result is a SCALAR
EXPLANATION
Given:
w = (16, -12)
Desired Result:
||w|| - 17
Determine the norm ||w||
[tex]\begin{gathered} ||w||=\sqrt{16^2+(-12)^2} \\ ||w||=\sqrt{256+144} \\ ||w||=\sqrt{400} \\ ||w||=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Determine ||w|| - 17
[tex]||w||-17=20-17=3[/tex]
Hence, the result is a scalar quantity becuase it has only magnitude.
