Answer: \sqrt{398}

Hint: You must know the rules of vector functions

Given: If

\begin{aligned} &\vec{a}=3 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-4 \hat{k} \\ &\vec{b}=-2 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}, \text { find }|3 \vec{a}-2 \vec{b}+4 \vec{c}| \\ &\vec{c}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k} \end{aligned}

Solution:

\begin{aligned} &\vec{a}=3 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-4 \hat{k} \\ &\vec{b}=-2 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}, \\ &\vec{c}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k} \end{aligned}

Now,

\begin{aligned} &3 \vec{a}-2 \vec{b}+4 \vec{c}=3(3 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-4 \hat{k})-2(-2 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k})+4(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}) \\ &=9 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-12 \hat{k}+4 \hat{i}-8 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k}+4 \hat{i}+8 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k} \\ &=17 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-10 \hat{k} \\ \end{aligned}

Hence, \begin{aligned} &\therefore|3 \vec{a}-2 \vec{b}+4 \vec{c}|=\sqrt{(17)^{2}-3^{2}-(10)^{2}} \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &=\sqrt{289+9+100} \\ &=\sqrt{398} \end{aligned}
