-$\| \mathbf { v } \| - \| \mathbf { w } \|$
A) $\sqrt { 85 }$
B) $2 \sqrt { 6 } - \sqrt { 13 }$
C) $\sqrt { 74 } - \sqrt { 13 }$
D) $\sqrt { 11 }$

The magnitude of vector v, \|v\|, is $\sqrt{(5)^2 + (-7)^2} = \sqrt{25 + 49} = \sqrt{74}$. The magnitude of vector w, \|w\|, is $\sqrt{(3)^2 + (2)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 4} = \sqrt{13}$. Therefore, \|v\| - \|w\| = $\sqrt{74} - \sqrt{13}$.
