$$\mid{a}\:\mid\:=\:\mathrm{3}\:,\mid{b}\mid=\:\mathrm{5}\:\Rightarrow{a}.{b}\:\neq−\mathrm{14} \\ $$$${a}.{b}=−\mathrm{15}\:\:{or}\:\:{a}.{b}=\mathrm{15} \\ $$

$$\mid\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{b}\mid=\sqrt{\mid\mathrm{a}\mid^{\mathrm{2}} +\mid\mathrm{b}\mid^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}\mid\mathrm{a}\mid\mid\mathrm{b}\mid\mathrm{cos}\theta}= \\ $$$$=\sqrt{\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}×\left(−\mathrm{14}\right)}=\sqrt{\mathrm{9}+\mathrm{25}−\mathrm{28}}=\sqrt{\mathrm{6}} \\ $$

![∣a ∣ = 3 ,∣b∣= 5 , a.b =−15 ∣a − b∣ = ? ∣a∣ = 3⇒a=±3⇒b=∓5 [∵a.b=−15] ∣a − b∣=∣(±3)−(∓5)∣ =∣(±3)+(±5)∣ =∣±8∣=8](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q66219.png)
