Question:medium

If \[ |\vec a|=3,\qquad |\vec b|=4 \] and the angle between \(\vec a\) and \(\vec b\) is \[ \frac{\pi}{6}, \] then \[ \left|(4\vec a+\vec b)\times(\vec a-3\vec b)\right| = \]

Show Hint

For cross-product expressions involving linear combinations, expand first and immediately use \[ \vec a\times\vec a=0, \qquad \vec b\times\vec b=0, \qquad \vec b\times\vec a=-\vec a\times\vec b. \] This often reduces the entire expression to a single multiple of \(\vec a\times\vec b\).
