I hope this helps. =)

The value of \(||c.\overrightarrow {u}||\) is  39 and this can be determined by using the property of dot product and formula to find the vector magnitude.

Given :

  • u = (5,-12)
  • c = -3

To determine the value of \(||c.\overrightarrow {u}||\), calculations is as follows:

\(||c.\overrightarrow {u}||\) = \(||-3.(5,-12)||\)

\(||c.\overrightarrow{u}|| = |-3|.||(5,-12)||\)

\(||c.\overrightarrow{u}|| = |-3|.\sqrt{(5)^2+(-12)^2}\)

\(||c.\overrightarrow{u}|| = 3.\sqrt{25+144}\)

\(||c.\overrightarrow{u}|| = 3.\sqrt{169} = 3\times 13\)

\(||c.\overrightarrow{u}|| = 39\)

Therefore, the correct option is C).
